The duel Usyk - Joshua will head the boxing evening of the Matchroom Boxing promotion company.

Initially, the British boxer was supposed to fight with WBC world champion Tyson Fury for the title of undisputed world heavyweight champion. However, the court ordered the "Gypsy King" to hold a third duel with American Deontay Wilder.

Thus, Anthony Joshua agreed to fight with mandatory WBO challenger Alexander Usyk.
