Anthony Joshua will face Oleksandr Usyk on August 20 in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
The highly anticipated rematch between the two heavyweights has been in the works for some time as Usyk returned to Ukraine in February amid the Russian invasion.

Eventually, the rematch clause could be activated as Usyk decided to leave Ukraine and start training, believing it could be a mighty victory for his country in a time of turmoil.
And it appears to have prompted the Ukrainian to train even harder as the fighter prepares for this crucial fight.
The WBA, IBF and WBO world heavyweight titles are up for grabs for the winner as this huge fight is set to grab the attention of all types of boxing fans, especially as Tyson Fury has promised to take his retirement.
Usyk won against Joshua in September in a crowded Tottenham Hotspur stadium in convincing fashion and secured all those belts from the British boxer.
