When is Anthony Joshua's next fight? Date and opponent confirmed

Oleksandr Usyk will be hoping to defend his WBA (Super), IBF, WBO, and IBO heavyweight titles when he fights against Anthony Joshua in a rematch on August 20. The pair first did battle at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium last September, with the Ukrainian winning on that occasion via unanimous decision.

This time, however, 'AJ' returns with a new coach as Robert Garcia takes over the role from Rob McCracken hoping to bring the heavyweight titles back to the UK. Usyk, meanwhile has an undefeated record to maintain, having now won world championship titles in both the cruiserweight and heavyweight divisions.

Both fighters will likely have Tyson Fury in their sights after the Gypsy King extended his immaculate record with a knockout win over Dillian Whyte at Wembley Stadium. For Joshua, he will be looking to manage what he did against Andy Ruiz Jr and claim another win in Saudi Arabia.

The undercard has also been announced, with Croatian Heavyweight star Filip Hrgovic (14-0, 12 KOs) meeting China’s undefeated Zhilei Zhang (24-0-1, 19 KOs) in a Final Eliminator for the IBF Heavyweight World Title. Meanwhile, Liverpool’s Callum Smith (28-1, 20 KOs) will face France's Mathieu Bauderlique (21-1, 12 KOs) in a Final Eliminator for the World Title currently held by Artur Beterbiev.

Joshua vs Usyk 2 will take place on Saturday 20 August at the Jeddah Super Dome in Saudi Arabia.

The event will start at 6pm on Saturday, August 20 on Sky Sports Box Office and Sky Sports Box Office HD.

The fight is going to be held in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, the country in which Joshua beat Ruiz in 2019 and that fight had a 9pm start UK time.
