Anthony Joshua’s rematch with Oleksandr Usyk has been DELAYED AGAIN.

ANTHONY JOSHUA’S must-win rematch against Oleksandr Usyk has been rescheduled for August.

After losing his WBA, IBF, and WBO world titles on points in September, 32-year-old AJ announced an immediate rematch.

However, the July 23 deadline is now only eight weeks away, and the massive amount of promotional work still needed to sell the Saudi Arabia showdown means it is likely to be postponed.

When Russia invaded his homeland, the 35-year-old Ukrainian Usyk’s life was turned upside down.

But he managed to get his wife and children to safety and is now at a top-secret training camp in the Czech Republic.

Joshua parted ways with ten-year mentor Rob McCracken after his second pro loss and is now training at Loughborough University under Angel Fernandez.

Watford is bringing in experienced American trainer Robert Garcia as an extra set of eyes, and he will need time to assess Joshua and the new gameplan to attack Usyk with far more purpose than in their previous meeting.

Expect press conferences in London, Saudi Arabia, and New York as part of a grueling junket funded by Saudi billionaires to help flog the controversial state as a tourist hotspot.

And with media commitments in the final few days leading up to the battle, training time for a late-July clash is dwindling.
