Oleksandr Usyk vs. Anthony Joshua 2 fight start time: Live stream, how to watch, undercard, TV channel

On Saturday, Anthony Joshua will seek revenge when he takes on WBA, WBO and IBF heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk. The Ukrainian native upset Joshua last September and dominated action over 12 rounds to clinch the title. This time, Usyk will enter the ring as a favourite.

Usyk is a former undisputed cruiserweight champion who is now one belt away from achieving the same feat as a heavyweight. That fourth belt, the WBC Championship, is held by Tyson Fury, who has claimed he is retired, although many believe he will be lured back into the ring to take on the winner of Saturday’s matchup.

For Joshua, Saturday is an attempt to become champion for the third time in his career. He also lost to Andy Ruiz in June 2019. Joshua was able to make the right adjustments in the rematch and easily won the rematch.
