For Anthony Joshua and Oleksandr Usyk, the big day is finally here - both go into today's rematch with big expectations hanging over them, after their first match-up in 2021.

That fight saw Joshua suffer the second defeat of his entire career, with the Ukranian Usyk winning by a unanimous decision at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

That fight saw Usyk claim the WBA (Super), IBF, WBO and IBO heavyweight titles, and with Joshua coming into this fight as the underdog, this could be his only chance to take them all back - the stakes could not be higher.

Joshua has precedent when it comes to this sort of thing. He previously lost and regained the same titles in fights with Andy Ruiz Jr in 2019, but that doesn't mean he can rest of his laurels when taking on Usyk.

The Ukrainian cult hero has been on a strong trajectory for a while now and a win here would cement his reputation and reaffirm his undefeated professional record, while marking another big blow for Joshua.
