Anthony Joshua (24-1, 22 KOs) defends his heavyweight belts against former undisputed cruiserweight champion and fellow Olympic gold medalist Oleksandr Usyk (18-0, 13 KOs) on Saturday at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. It is the biggest heavyweight fight of the year and one Joshua deserves a lot of credit for taking. Usyk is his mandatory challenger for the WBO belt and Joshua could have dropped the belt and just gone straight for a big money unification fight of his other belts with the Tyson Fury vs. Deontay Wilder winner.
Usyk famously unified the entire cruiserweight division between 2016 and 2018 and then moved up to heavyweight.
