Note that unlike the first duel between these boxers, the monetary reward for both boxers will be much higher. This is especially true for Usyk, because according to the results of the first fight, he received five times less than the Briton.

So, according to Talk Sport journalist Michael Benson, the second fight should bring the boxers 65 million pounds (80 million dollars)..

Earlier Usyk's promoter Oleksandr Krasyuk announced that the total fee would be divided 50/50.. That is, Usyk's monetary reward for the rematch with Joshua is $40 million.. Interestingly, in the first fight, according to media reports, Usyk's fee was 3 million pounds (4.08 million dollars), and Joshua - 15 million pounds (20.4 million dollars).

The second fight between Usyk and Joshua will take place on August 20 in the city of Jeddah in Saudi Arabia.. In June, the official announcement of revenge between the Ukrainian and the British took place.

Recall that on the night of September 26, 2021, Usyk defeated Joshua in London by unanimous decision - 117-112, 116-112 and 115-113, and won the IBF, WBO, WBA and IBO heavyweight titles. After that, the Briton activated the option of revenge, prescribed in the contract for the first fight..

So in the rematch, all the titles that the Ukrainian took away from the Brit last year will be at stake..

The 35-year-old Usyk has 19 wins (13 by knockout) in 19 fights. He held three of them in the heavyweight division.. Before that, Alexander became the absolute world champion in the cruiserweight (weight category up to 90.7 kg), having won all four of the most prestigious belts there..

Joshua, 32, has 24 wins (22 by knockout) and two losses.. For the first time, AJ lost in June 2019 to Andy Ruiz, but in December of the same year he defeated the Mexican in a rematch and regained his titles.
