Boxing schedule: which boxers are fighting this weekend?
The boxing world is set to witness two great championship fights this weekend. Anthony Joshua will look to avenge his loss to Oleksandr Usyk and win the heavyweight title back when the two enter the boxing ring again on August 20 in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
The two faced each other back in September last year when Anthony Joshua was a massive favorite to win the bout. However, Oleksandr Usyk flipped the script on him and turned out to be victorious instead.
Apart from the heavyweight title bout, the WBO World Featherweight Championship will also be on the line this weekend in an event hosted by Top Rank in San Diego, California between Emanuel Navarrete and Eduardo Baez.
