Usyk Wants Joshua Rematch In Ukraine

Oleksandr Usyk wants a rematch with Anthony Joshua — but hopes it will be held in his native Ukraine.

Usyk overcame Joshua on Saturday night with a majority decision at The Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. The judges gave scores of 117-112, 116-112 and 115-113 in his favour. It followed an absolute masterclass in front of 65,000 hostile fans inside the north London venue.


Joshua, who now has a professional record of 24-2, finished the fight slumped against the ropes and was lucky not to be knocked out by his opponent.

The Brit’s hopes of meeting domestic rival Tyson Fury in a showdown for all of the heavyweight world titles was also left in tatters by the result, which saw Usyk claim the WBA, WBO, IBF and IBO belts.

Joshua is, though, expected to invoke a clause giving him a rematch and Usyk was asked after the fight where he would want the return bout to take place.


“I would love to have the rematch at Olympiyskiy Stadium in Kiev,” he replied.


Joshua’s promoter Eddie Hearn dropped a heavy hint that the rematch would, however, take place in the United Kingdom.

“We will work together to maximise (the income), Ukraine is very unlikely,” said Hearn.

“I think it will be international or the UK, I would think it would be in the UK.

“It’s going to be really difficult because Usyk’s confidence will be sky high, but when you get to the level of Anthony Joshua, as we saw after the Ruiz defeat, there’s no 10-round comeback fights and warm-ups.

“It’s straight back into the fire and he will want to go straight back into that rematch. He will be an underdog in the rematch this time after that tonight, but that’s what he does.”

I hope he stakes all the 4 belts too... it will be a difficult rematch tho for both and mostly joshua tho

I fear for Joshua...

This usyk's first win, if it wasn't fixed may be the end of him.

I wish him well nevertheless.

AJ better go and prepare well. It won't be easy for him wherever the fight is held. He was really awful in that fight, failing to utilize the reach and height advantage.

But I like AJ for his humility and composure.

Fixed matches.

The promoters know this.

They will make more money if AJ loses the match.

The rematch will be hyped and he will win that one.

Everybody smiles to bank.

Same thing with this useless big brother naija.

People are told to act in certain ways so the whole thing will be controversial, more money for the organisers.

More strength and more win to you AJ
