Former two division world champion David Haye believes Anthony Joshua will make the necessary adjustments to get revenge on Oleksandr Usyk in their upcoming rematch.

If it was entirely up to Eddie Hearn, the heavyweight title rematch between Anthony Joshua and Oleksandr Usyk would take place in London, site of the first bout and Joshua’s hometown.

Barry Hearn, the founder of Matchroom Sport, expects Anthony Joshua vs. Tyson Fury to eventually come off. The two British heavyweights were in serious talks earlier last year. Their negotiations fell apart after Deontay Wilder was victorious at an arbitration to force a third meeting with Fury.

Eddie Hearn says a venue for Oleksandr Usyk’s rematch with Anthony Joshua will be announced within the next two weeks, with “final negotiations” with different sites still taking place.

Trainer SugarHill Steward is not about to hold his breath for an all-British showdown to materialize between two of the biggest heavyweight names in boxing.

The team behind unified heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk are expecting to finalize the date and venue for the rematch with Anthony Joshua within the next two weeks.

Tyson Fury, the 33-year-old WBC titleholder from Manchester, talked about the various “step aside” scenarios that came up during his negotiations to fight countryman mandatory challenger Dillian Whyte. There was talk that Fury could simply bypass the Jamaican-born, London native Whyte to face WBO/WBA/IBF/IBO champion Oleksandr Usyk of Ukraine for a full heavyweight unification bout this spring, but that would have been contingent on getting permission from Anthony Joshua, who had a contractual rematch clause with Usyk, and Whyte. In the end, with far too many variables at play, a deal for a step aside fell apart. Fury’s team blamed it on Joshua for asking for a larger fee.

Joe Joyce has accused his friend turned rival, Anthony Joshua, of leaking out an edited version of their sparring session. He feels the footage was edited to showcase Joshua's best moments during the session.

Eddie Hearn has insisted that no deal has been agreed to stage the Oleksandr Usyk vs. Anthony Joshua rematch in Saudi Arabia despite reports claiming a $120 million offer had been made by the country.

Vitali and Wladimir Klitschko have both voiced their support to countryman Oleksandr Usyk, who decided to leave Ukraine to start training for a planned rematch with Anthony Joshua.
