Anthony Joshua vs. Oleksandr Usyk 2 Venue: Are They Fighting on a Helipad?
Follow Us
This year, there’ll be some high-voltage boxing bouts between the biggest of stars. Among all, a rematch between Anthony Joshua and Oleksandr Usyk tops the charts for obvious reasons. Last year, the two men squared off at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, wherein Usyk edged over the big man to pull off an upset.
Since then, the only thing Joshua cared about was a rematch with his Ukrainian rival. Until now, there’s no set date for this clash, but ‘AJ’s promoter, Eddie Hearn, is on a hunt for an ideal location for this cracking rematch.
Recently, the Matchroom boss even went to Burj Al Arab’s helipad, in the UAE. Also, it was last week when he revealed he had meetings aligned to discuss potential site deals for Joshua vs Usyk 2 in May.

Hearn also took it to his Instagram story to post a short video of this site and eventually put the fans in a frenzy.
Joshua and Usyk’s second scuffle is one of the most important fights in the heavyweight mix this year. In their last meet, ‘AJ’ ended up losing his heavyweight titles to the underdog Usyk, who completely startled him with a tactical approach.
From the first bell to the last, nothing went right for the Briton. He had his success in rounds 5 and 6 but failed to sustain the momentum till the very end. On the other hand, Usyk was at the top of his game. And he rarely succumbed to any slip-ups in their entire fight.
Consequently, he got his fruits of success, as he defeated Joshua via a UD.
