Anthony Joshua's keys to beating Oleksandr Usyk after their rematch was FINALLY confirmed... the crestfallen Brit must use his physical strength to his advantage and avoid boxing the Ukrainian at range to set up a historic showdown with Tyson Fury

At long last, Anthony Joshua's date of destiny with Oleksandr Usyk is finally on after their Jeddah rematch was officially confirmed on Sunday night.

It has been over eight months since Joshua first triggered an immediate rematch against Usyk, who produced a masterful display to dethrone him as unified heavyweight champion last September.

The Ukrainian proved tirelessly slick and elusive over 12 rounds in north London, meaning he departed Tottenham Hotspur's 62,000-seater stadium with a unanimous points victory and AJ's three world titles in the bag.

The Brit will get his shot at redemption against Usyk out in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia on August 20

While it has taken longer to arrange than expected, a result of Usyk's brief attempt to negotiate an undisputed battle with Tyson Fury and Russia's invasion of his native Ukraine, Joshua will get his shot at redemption in the Saudi Arabian port city of Jeddah on August 20.
