Usyk's promoter says Joshua rematch possible next yearUkrainian boxer Oleksandr Usyk (left) fights British heavyweight champion boxer Anthony Joshua at the end of their heavyweight boxing match at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in north London on September 25, 2021. KIEV, Ukraine – A rematch between Oleksandr Usyk and Anthony Joshua is possible in February or March, the promoter of the Ukrainian boxing champion confirmed Tuesday (Wednesday, Manila time), days after Joshua lost his world heavyweight titles to Usyk. "The approximate time that Eddie Hearn announced at the press conference after the fight, February-March, is indeed true," Usyk's promoter Oleksandr Krasyuk said Tuesday at a joint press conference with the boxer in Kiev. Hearn, Joshua's promoter, suggested during the post-fight press conference in London that any rematch would be in Britain. Usyk's victory extended his unbeaten professional record to 19 wins and scrapped the prospects of an all-British world heavyweight title unification bout between Joshua and Tyson Fury.
