In the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia on August 20 in Jeddah, Al-Auda fight for the Red Sea Fight heavyweight title between Ukrainian Oleksandr Usyk and Briton Anthony Joshua will take place.
The first showdown between the two boxers, Oleksandr Usyk, defeated Joshua, in a fight last September at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, attended by 60,000 spectators.
And that’s before he demanded that “Joshua” meet again, which is the first time in the heavyweight division since 1999 when Britain’s Lennox Lewis faced his American rival Evander Holyfield.
On this occasion, Prince Abdulaziz bin Turki Al Faisal, Minister of Sports and President of the Olympic and Paralympic Committee of Saudi Arabia, said: “We are proud that Saudi Arabia is hosting a global and unique event in the game of boxing.”
And the minister continued: “This confirms the unprecedented interest we are receiving from our wise leadership and the direct support of Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, who is behind all these global events and events that have become the headquarters of Saudi Arabia. “
