Anthony Joshua faces Oleksandr Usyk in Saudi Arabia this evening in a hotly anticipated rematch between the pair.
Joshua is looking to regain his WBA, IBF and WBO titles in Jeddah after succumbing to disappointing defeat against the Ukranian last time out at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London.
In September of last year, Usyk beat Joshua by unanimous decision as he handed the Brit just the second defeat of his career.

The last time Joshua participated in a rematch he managed overcome Andy Ruiz Jr. after a shock defeat in the first bout.
And after triggering the contractural option of a rematch just hours after his defeat against Usyk last time out, Joshua will be hoping for similar success tonight.
