The rematch has been pushed from June to July and now to August with no date being confirmed as of now. <\/p>\n<p>The fight was pushed back initially because <a href=\"https:\/\/www.legitgambling.com\/news\/anthony-joshua-and-oleksandr-usyk-2-could-be-postponed-further-as-usyk-fights-for-ukraine\/\">Usyk was on the frontlines fighting the war for Ukraine<\/a> and defending his country against a Russian invasion. <\/p>\n<p>While Usyk\u2019s camp appears ready to go in July, issues with the broadcasters have resulted in another delay.<\/p>\n<h2>Broadcast Dispute Pushes Fight To August <\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.legitgambling.com\/news\/saudi-arabia-set-to-host-oleksandr-usyk-vs-anthony-joshua-rematch-this-june\/\">Saudi Arabia is reported to be hosting this mega heavyweight fight<\/a> as they were the <strong>highest bidder paying out $120 million to host Joshua vs. Usyk 2<\/strong>. The fight was set to be broadcasted by Sky in the UK while DAZN was in charge of live streaming for the international market. It appears that the broadcasters need more time to work out some of the issues that they are facing.<\/p>\n<p>The delay might also be a blessing in disguise to the two fighters and also to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.legitgambling.com\/saudi-arabia\/online-betting\">Saudi Arabia<\/a> who is reported to be setting up a new stadium for the fight with special air condition to combat the soaring temperatures in the desert that will be well over 40\u2019C in August. <\/p>\n<p>The additional time will allow Usyk, the <em>WBA, IBF, WBO and IBO<\/em> heavyweight to put on some of the muscle that he lost when he was on the frontlines defending his country. <\/p>\n<h2>Hearn Confident Joshua Will Fight Twice In 2022<\/h2>\n<p>Anthony Joshua\u2019s manager, <strong>Eddie Hearn<\/strong> isn\u2019t too concerned with the delay as he factored in a potential delay due to the circumstances surrounding this fight.
