(Pocket-lint) - Oleksandr Usyk met Anthony Joshua for the first time on 25 September 2021, which resulted in a unanimous decision defeat for Joshua, losing the WBA (Super), WBO and IBF titles to Usyk. But the two are getting back in the ring after nearly a year, with the fight rescheduled from May.
