Eddie Hearn, Anthony Joshua’s promoter hints that the fighter’s rematch with Oleksandr Usyk could be held in the United Kingdom in June or July.

Usyk managed to beat Joshua last year, taking the Briton’s WBA, WBO and IBF belts on a united points decision.

Meanwhile Usyk’s promoter Alexander Krassyuk suggested that Saudi Arabia could host the rematch of two.

“We’re in final negotiations for a couple of sites for either the end of June or early-to-mid-July,” Hearn said.

“I reckon within two weeks we’ll have some news in terms of where that’s going to be.

“An option is in the UK. The difference is, we don’t really need negotiations with a venue in the UK, and we just book it.”

The rematch with Joshua, was initially planned for May but it had to be postponed after Usyk enlisted in Ukraine’s army in March ahead of the Russian invasion. He left his homeland, Ukraine, and went for helping the country defend its ground, on 23 March.

Usyk took to instagram to share the news in an instagram post saying: “I decided to start preparing for a rematch with Anthony Joshua.”
