Three of the world heavyweight titles are on the line when Oleksander Usyk and Anthony Joshua step into the ring in their much-anticipated rematch on Saturday. 

Clear your throat and dust off your best Michael Buffer impression, because Saturday afternoon is the moment we’ve all been waiting for. Boxing fans could see world heavyweight powers shift when Oleksander Usyk puts three of the four world titles on the line when he steps into a rematch against Britain’s Anthony Joshua in a bout that’s being dubbed ‘The Rage on the Red Sea’.

It’s a rematch between two of the world’s best and most notable fighters. Joshua, once hailed as the next great champion, is trying to claw his way back after shocking defeats have peppered — and stained — his career.

Most notably, Joshua was absolutely dominated by Usyk when the pair fought back in September 2021. With that victory, Usyk claimed Joshua’s WBA (Super), IBF, WBO, and IBO heavyweight titles and paved the way for the rematch in Saudi Arabia this Saturday.

Joshua is 32 years old and many experts believe his best days are behind him. Those stakes, in addition to trying to win back the titles he lost and reclaim his place as the heavyweight champion of the world, make Saturday’s fight one of the biggest boxing matches we’ve seen recently.
