“Anthony Joshua (expected) is going to Saudi Arabia for a rematch in the summer against Oleksandr Usyk.” So write Sports skyalso stated that the match would likely go down “at the Jeddah Super Dome, a record-breaking modern arena in Saudi Arabia.“If the report turns out to be true, it will be Joshua’s second tour of duty to that country, as he defeated David Ortiz there in their 2019 heavyweight title rematch. Joshua had previously lost to Ortiz, just as he had previously lost to Usyk. Perhaps the man feels the country is a good place for him to win back his titles.
“The management at Jeddah Super Dome confirms that this is the preferred venue for the blockbuster,” Sports sky reported, which means that, although no ink has been added to the contracts, the Jeddah Super Dome will certainly be the location of choice for the ad. No date has been officially set for the rematch, though it’s clear both Joshua and Usyk are gearing up to meet again sooner rather than later. Their first bout, which took place last fall in the UK, saw Usyk surprise a lot of people by knocking the famous Joshua out of his numerous championship belts.
