Anthony Joshua will be heading to the ring for arguably the biggest fight in his career when he looks to regain his WBA, IBF and WBO titles from Oleksandr Usyk, but what time are the boxers expected to be making their ring walks?
Arguably, this is Joshua’s last chance to put himself back at the top of the British boxing ranks, at least in the Heavyweight division, and potentially give him the chance to coax Tyson Fury out of retirement or get a box office payday against Deontay Wilder.
If you’re a boxing fan, then you absolutely do not want to miss what is surely going to be one of the biggest events of 2022, and we’ve got you covered on that front!
