Eddie Hearn said the parties had agreed on the venue for the rematch between the Ukrainian and British.
Oleksandr Usyk and Anthony Joshua will meet in Saudi Arabia, but the exact date of the match is still unknown. This was announced in an interview with Boxing News 24 by British boxer promoter Eddie Hearn.
According to him, the day of the rematch between the Ukrainian world champion and the British challenger may have to be postponed to further advance the match.
“We have agreed a venue for the rematch, Saudi Arabia, and a working date of July 23. We are almost ready to announce.
Speaking of a possible rescheduling … Two weeks. And there is no other reason for it, other than time to make sure we promote it properly. The battle will take place, the place of its holding will be agreed – both sides agree on everything.
It just took ten days more than we want, and without giving a date, all I can tell you is that we are finalizing the last part of the paperworks and everything is agreed, so be prepared, ”said Hearn.
