This Saturday, September 25, Anthony Joshua is set to return to the ring for his first fight of 2021 against undefeated mandatory challenger Oleksandr Usyk, and it will air live on Sky Box Office in the UK, and DAZN in the US.
The event will take place at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, England and will see Joshua defend his WBA, IBF and WBO heavyweight titles against the Ukrainian former undisputed cruiserweight champion.
