WBA (Super), IBF, WBO, and IBO heavyweight champion, Anthony Joshua is set to face Ukrainian Olympic medalist Oleksandr Usyk.

The two fighters who are ranked 2nd and 4th respectively among heavyweight will go head-to-head in front of an estimated 60,000 fans at the new Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London.

This will be one of the toughest fights of British boxer Joshua’s career and the second time defending his belt since reclaiming it against Andy Ruiz Jr.

The winner of the bout between Anthony Joshua and Usyk will likely face the winner of the matchup between Tyson Fury, the WBC and The Ring champion, and Deontay Wilder.

Since both Joshua and Usyk are among the highest-ranked fighters in the world, the cash out for this bout is expected to be huge.
