THE latest promo for Anthony Joshua’s rematch with Oleksandr Usyk has dropped – with fans excited for the much-anticipated bout.

The promo begins with a portion of commentary from the first fight, saying: “It was a fabulous performance from Oleksandr Usyk.
“And Anthony Joshua loses his heavyweight titles. But he’ll be back.”

Former champion David Haye believes that AJ needs to employ the dark arts to get it done on August 20.
