We didn’t (yet) get Anthony Joshua vs. Tyson Fury as hoped, but the alternative is still fantastic.
Matchroom Boxing announced on Tuesday that Joshua will put his IBF, WBA, and WBO heavyweight belts on the line against former undisputed cruiserweight champion Oleksandr Usyk on September 25th at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London. With the United Kingdom lifting COVID-19 restrictions on July 19th (even though there’s been a rise in daily cases), clearance has been given for full capacity sporting events and this venue can seat over 60,000 spectators.
Sky Box Office will have the PPV in the UK, whereas the rest of the world can see the bout live on DAZN.
