Anthony Joshua boxing record in full ahead of Oleksandr Usyk rematch

Anthony Joshua will be hoping that he can regain his heavyweight titles with a win against Oleksandr Usyk later this month in Saudi Arabia.

Usyk won their first fight via unanimous decision last September at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and they will meet once again on August 20 in Saudi Arabia, with 'AJ' hoping to reclaim the WBA (Super), IBF, WBO, and IBO heavyweight titles he lost in that fight.

That bout continued former WBA (Super), WBC, IBF and WBO cruiserweight champion Usyk's undefeated career while it inflicted just the second ever defeat suffered by Joshua. The first defeat for the former Olympic gold medallist came against Andy Ruiz Jr back in 2019 via TKO.

Joshua says that he is back to regain his crown in the 'Rage on the Red Sea', saying that he will not worry about his previous defeat to the Ukrainian fighter: “It's hard to say from a head to head who's going to win a championship fight. So I don't tend to look into head to heads so deeply, but for some they could think that's a 1-0 victory. That's down to opinion anyway.

He added: “In terms of old AJ, same old G, I’m just doing what I’m doing. Grafting away. It is a rough and tough sport. Fighting these lefties is a nightmare! And I cannot make the same mistake twice. I am hungry and desperate but at the end of the day how I perform will speak.”
