Tonight sees the highly anticipated rematch between Anthony Joshua and Oleksandr Usyk, with the Brit hoping to regain the world titles he lost to the Ukrainian last September. The fight takes place on a packed fight card in Saudi Arabia's Jeddah Super Dome and it should be an exciting night of boxing.
The fight takes place in Saudi Arabia, the second time that Joshua has travelled to the Middle Eastern country to contest a world title fight, having regained his belts against Andy Ruiz back in 2019. An additional prize on offer for the fighters tonight is The Ring (Lineal) belt, which was vacated by Tyson Fury following his supposed retirement last week.
Callum Smith also fights on the card, hoping that he can take a step closer to becoming a two-weight world champion with a win against Matheiu Baderlique in a light-heavyweight WBC World Title eliminator. The fight also includes a IBF Heavyweight World Title Final Eliminator between Filip Hrgovic and China's Zhang Zhilei.
