Eddie Hearn (left), Anthony Joshua (center), and Oleksandr Usyk (right) has revealed his intentions ahead of the rematch between Anthony Joshua and Oleksandr Usyk. The pair are set to fight on Saudi Arabia with the IBF, WBO, and WBA Heavyweight Titles on the line. Ahead of their fight, they held their first press conference in Jeddah, and Eddie Hearn made it very clear who he was rooting for: "So thank you to Egis [Klimas], and Alex [Krassyuk], and Oleksandr Usyk as well. And of course for our team, Anthony Joshua, 258 Management, Robert Garcia. This is all very nice, it's all very friendly but we're only here to win. Honestly, that's all that matters. Last September was very painful when the great Oleksandr Usyk dethroned Anthony Joshua and we're here to be pleasant but we're here to see this man regain those wonderful belts up there on August the 20th." Eddie Hearn believes that Joshua has what it takes to win back his titles from the Ukrainian. The last time the pair fought was in September last year when 'The Cat' put on a masterclass in just his third fight in the heavyweight division to dethrone 'AJ'. The Brit seemed to have no answer for his opponent's jab and looked like a fish out of water. Watch the video by Matchroom Boxing below: “It's been a long time making this fight.

You know, I think he fought the wrong fight [last time] and that's the past, you know, that happened already. Usyk was the better man, congratulations to him, but come August 20 we're gonna do whatever it takes to win those titles back. I know he could do it."
