Anthony Joshua and Oleksandr Usyk 'decide rematch venue' for July 23 bout

"We have agreed to a deal for the site, and the working date of July 23. We are pretty much ready to announce. When you question whether there will be a delay. If there is, you're talking about two weeks, and it's for no other reason than time to make sure we can promote the fight in the right way.
