    I hope it’s shifted back to June. Got exams during that period - won’t be able to enjoy the build-up or the fight!

    On a serious note, May sounds about right. Maybe Fury Whyte happens a few weeks afterwards.

    Where will it take place ? My guess is Saudi.

    23rd April Benn vs Hooker/??
    30th April Taylor vs Serrano
    7th May Canelo vs Bivol/Charlo

    So late May for Joshua vs Usyk, at the earliest, I would say.

    I hope Usyk stops him this time. I have a feeling the brit judges will screw Usyk if it goes the distance.

    I have a horrible feeling that's the game plan for AJ this time. A just close enough fight for a robbery on the cards.

    feels like an unnecessary rematch, the first fight was October/November the rematch should be March/April

    The end of round 12 of the first fight will happen sooner and Usyk will win by TKO.

    The 3 judges won't be British much like last time and if they was gonna rob Usyk why didn't they already do it

    AJ just isn't built to fight Usyk. The only thing he has over Usyk is size and power, both of which Usyk nullified from the opening bell of the 1st fight. Sure, AJ can try to go through Usyk from the jump, but if that plan doesn't work, AJ gets stopped mid fight. Of course, we all know AJ will not ever out box Usyk. So AJ's options are limited to take a chance early and go for the KO or wait for Usyk to make a mistake and hope he can capitalize off it. Slim to none for AJ. Usyk KO 8-10.

    Almost happened last time. Imagine if Usyk gets robbed and then they make a trilogy fight.
