A new title will be at stake in the rematch between Ukrainian world heavyweight boxing champion Oleksandr Usyk (19-0, 13 KOs) and British boxer Anthony Joshua (24-2, 22 KOs).
The winner of the fight will win the world heavyweight championship belt according to the authoritative The Ring magazine, as reported by talkSPORT journalist Michael Benson..
Until recently, this title belonged to the British boxer Tyson Fury, who also owned the WBC belt.. The last title will remain vacant unless Fury decides to restart his career.
Thus, Usyk-Joshua's rematch will have five world titles at once.. These are WBA Super, IBF, WBO, IBO and The Ring belts.. The fight will take place on August 20 in the city of Jeddah (Saudi Arabia).
Recall that the boxers held their first fight on September 25 last year and Oleksandr Usyk won by unanimous decision.. All Joshua's championship belts went to the Ukrainian.
