Oleksandr Usyk vs. Anthony Joshua 2: Fight prediction, undercard ... (CBSSports.com)

The unified heavyweight titles are once again on the line when the pair meet in Saudi Arabia.

Had Joshua committed to finishing Ruiz in their rematch instead of playing it safe, the betting odds for this rematch might look a lot different. A lot of that likely centers around the fact that although Usyk is not known as a big puncher at heavyweight, he succeeded in the early rounds by stinging Joshua with just enough clean left hands to discipline him away from trying to walk down his smaller foe. But those differences will only become an advantage for Joshua if he's able to cut off the ring, slow Usyk down with body shots and use his bulk to lean on Usyk. The 32-year-old Englishman decided to move up to 175 pounds following the defeat and debuted with a second-round TKO of Lenin Castillo in September 2021. But there's only so many clean punches Joshua can take behind a chin that has been routinely questioned throughout his well-publicized reign, which included AJ getting up off the canvas to finish former unified king Wladimir Klitschko in their 2017 thriller. The former WBC super middleweight champion fought Adonis Stevenson to a draw in 2018 in a bid to become a light heavyweight champion before suffering back-to-back losses against Marcus Browne and Jean Pascal for other titles at 175 pounds. "The whole world has to know that Ukraine is the country of free transport, and strong and spiritually dependent people. "The champion did what he was supposed to do and we are ready. Not only did Usyk's native Ukraine enter a massive conflict following an invasion from Russia, Usyk was among the many notable combat sports athletes to put his career on pause in order to join his nation's fight on the frontlines. "We had enough time to study each other and this Saturday will be a great, great fight." Usyk has brought back the shaved head with small pony tail on top that he proudly wore while winning gold at heavyweight in the 2012 London Olympics, the same event that Joshua also won gold at super heavyweight. In defense of Joshua (24-2, 22 KOs), he has been here and done that before.

Usyk vs AJ: Predictions from boxing experts ahead of huge ... (Sky Sports)

The huge Oleksandr Usyk vs Anthony Joshua rematch is finally here. They clash tonight live on Sky Sports Box Office.

I think he's going to come out and go for it all guns blazing and go for it and he's going to do it! But I still think Usyk is too cute, too clever and he will come out on top. If Anthony Joshua can stick to the plan, I say Anthony Joshua stops Oleksandr Usyk in the mid rounds. I think Usyk will come out on top. I think the safer bet is Usyk. I want to see Joshua step up and fight Usyk back with stiff hard jabs and finishing with hooks. If AJ makes the proper adjustments, he could always score a knockout as well, but I just don't see him winning on points. He's got to be a bully. The obvious answer to who wins is Usyk wins because it was so one-sided, so conclusive in the first fight. Joshua made a lot of mistakes in the first fight with Usyk. He's got a great coach behind him who's took a lot of world champions into fights and it's interesting, I'm not sure how it's going to go. He was a little bit like a deer in the headlights, which is ridiculous because he's heavyweight champion.

Will it be repeat or revenge when Oleksandr Usyk and Anthony Joshua face off once again for heavyweight gold? The Sporting News will be providing live ...

- Main event: 5:15 p.m. - Main card: 12 p.m. The 25-year-old's huge reach has immediately caused problems for Jozef Jurko, his opponent known as 'The Slovakian Bulldog' who has shown ample aggression and appears to be shouting at Lapin in an attempt to incite a more toe-to-toe scrap. Lapin just landed a body shot that sounded like an axe hitting a tree. Jurko, to his credit again, responds with flashes of success on his own. The towering Kiev fighter beckons Jurko on, and his adversary raggedly goes for broke, showing impressive reserves of energy while coming no nearer to a meaningful blow. He takes a few clips to his whiskers for his trouble. Whittaker chuckles at something the exalted trainer says as he stands in wait for the fifth. "I just tried to box to my gameplan," Whittaker tells DAZN. Tabiti has a noticeable speed superiority to the heavier fighter and is finding success with his jab. When he takes him to the ropes again, an uppercut proves too much and sends Wilson down. A smooth one-two saw Alatorre decked within the final minute of the round and right hooks to body and head saw it waved off with five seconds of the round remaining.

Oleksandr Usyk vs. Anthony Joshua 2 fight results, highlights: Ukrainian champion retains titles by decision (CBSSports.com)

Beginning in Round 10, Usyk upped his output considerably, tagging Joshua with heavy shots multiple times. Joshua's lower stance disappeared and he began to fight with very straight, slow legs as Usyk took over and ensured a well-deserved victory. The ...

9 10 Fury has repeatedly claimed he has retired from boxing, though many believe he could be coaxed back to the ring with the promise of an undisputed title fight. This led to Joshua's biggest moment in the fight -- and the most likely chance for him to have scored a stoppage. Joshua showed that he had made some real adjustments since their September 2021 clash, fighting in a lower stance and not falling into Usyk's traps in the opening rounds. Usyk won the rematch to remain WBO, WBA and IBF heavyweight champion inside the Jeddah Superdome after 12 hard-fought rounds by split decision in a fight where there was truly no doubt he deserved to be named the victor.
