On August 20, in this year’s most anticipated fights of the year, Anthony Joshua squared off with Oleksandr Usyk, for the second time. Fans eagerly waited for this fight for two reasons. Firstly, to see if ‘AJ’ avenged his loss to Usyk, and secondly, to see if Tyson Fury will announce his return to the ring. The fight took place inside the Jeddah Superdome, Jeddah, in Saudi Arabia. Although ‘AJ’ returned with high hopes for the rematch, Usyk snatched his win.
The three judges that scored the bout were Glenn Feldman, Viktor Fesechko, and Steve Gray. Only Feldman scored the bout in Joshua’s favor after the fight. Regarding this, in a “repeated crime” statement, Jake Paul accused Matchroom Boxing of bribing Feldman to help Joshua win.
