The first press conference before the clash between the World Boxing Association (WBA) heavyweight super champion, Ukrainian Oleksandr Usyk and British Anthony Joshua, who will clash on August 20 in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, was held on Tuesday. 

In this same city, both were face to face for the presentation of the fight and there was a very cordial atmosphere between the two in the venue that was full of photographers and journalists from various parts of the world.

Usyk assured to be ready for a new defense of his black and gold belt and the WBO and IBF belts, besides showing the dominance on the ring that he had in the first fight between the two. Joshua, for his part, said he intends to regain the belts and has worked hard to change history in this new confrontation. 

The rematch has been highly anticipated by boxing fans and another great fight is expected next August 20 when they step into the ring in the Saudi Arabian coastal city.
