AJ v Usyk: Rematch Clause Activated

Anthony Joshua will be fighting Oleksandr Usyk one more time as the Ukrainian heavyweight champion's team has confirmed that the rematch clause has been triggered by their opponents. 

Usyk became the new heavyweight champion in a unanimous decision that scored him more points than Joshua after fighting through 12 rounds. He now holds all the four heavyweight belts that the Briton reclaimed from former champion Andy Ruiz Jr in a rematch. 

"The rematch was specified in the contract," Usyk's promoter confirmed in a press conference held with the fighter when he announced that Joshua's team has activated the rematch. 

There hasn't been a specific date given to the rematch but Usyk's team teased of the possibilities of that happening in February with the view that the location will be Kiev.
