Boxing fans can expect a breathtaking evening of action on August 20 when Anthony Joshua rematches Oleksandr Usyk.
On what may turn out to be a historic occasion in Saudi Arabia, the British fighter will attempt to reclaim his WBA, IBF, WBO, and IBO belts from the formidable Ukrainian.
With a stellar lineup of undercard fights now confirmed, fans paying to watch the main fight on PPV are likely to get their money’s worth.
Two world title eliminators are among them, and neither one is likely to let you down. The final eliminator for the IBF heavyweight division will feature man-mountain Filip Hrgovic versus China’s Zhang Zhilei.
With both men unbeaten, it is going to be quite a thrilling fixture on August 20. Initial plans called for the fight between Hrgovic and Zhang to take place on May 7 on the undercard of Canelo Alvarez’s loss to Dmitry Bivol.
After Hrgovic withdrew for private reasons, Zhang easily dispatched Scott Alexander from the United States.
Callum Smith, a former world super-middleweight champion, will compete against Mathieu Bauderlique in the second elimination round.
