Exclusive: Usyk will fight Joshua despite Russia's invasion of Ukraine, says Eddie Hearn
Oleksandr Usyk has travelled back to Ukraine following Russia's invasion. The Ukrainian world champion is the current holder of the WBA, IBF and WBO heavyweight titles. Joshua is looking to reclaim his three titles from Uysykh.
Oleksandr Usyk will fight Anthony Joshua in a rematch in May. The Ukrainian is currently in his home country following Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Hearn wants the fight to take place in the UK. Tyson Fury vs Dillian Whyte is out of HearN's hands. The promoter's purse bid of £24 million to promote the match was beaten by £31 million from Frank Warren's Queensberry. Tottenham Hotspur's new 60,000 seater stadium is the dream venue. It is also possible that Uysyks will go to Dubai or Saudi Arabia. He has a share in revenue for the fights.
