Anthony Joshua has promised to bring the fight to Oleksandr Usyk in their rematch after a lacklustre performance in his defeat by the Ukrainian in September.
The Brit relinquished his WBA, WBO and IBF titles in a one-sided unanimous decision defeat at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, leaving many perplexed as he opted to box the boxer, rather than using his evident physical advantages.
Promoter Eddie Hearn swiftly confirmed Joshua had activated his contractually-agreed rematch clause, with the pair set to go to battle once more early next year, likely in March.
And Joshua, who insists his days of losing are over, has vowed to bring a different mentality this time round.
