It shouldn't happen. AJ has had those belts tied up in one way or another for 4 years now. He should have to do what everyone else does and have 2 or 3 'bounce back' fights before being allowed a title shot again. There are so many good up-and-comers at the moment, let someone else have a shot.

Usyk should choose the US as the rematch place, as it will probably cause AJ having nightmares.

Hearn will do everything he can to not figt in Kiev. Joshua's fragile confidence would evaporate walking into an arena where everybody is against him.

so many factors , ie whats in the contract / who can stump up enough ££££ to hold it / does Hearn present the UK as a much better location financially / maybe Ukraine cant fill a stadium of fight fans ..

Yeah from a business sense it probably still is a bigger fight in England,but from a sporting sense it should be in Kiev
We all know money talks though

If I was Joshua I’d want to rest for a bit. Take a year off. Get out of the limelight. Get away from the pressure.

I think him and LaMotta fought two 10 rounders 3 weeks apart.

Where the rematch will take place and the purse split will depend entirely on what was specified in the original fight contract.
What’s fair is irrelevant. Joshua doesn’t have to travel to his backyard or give up the lions share.
If Usyk signed a contract stipulating rematch venue and purse amounts, that’s that.

Hearn confirmed there was no venue stip on the contract.

Maybe Vitali can have some sway being the major of Kiev.
I’m guessing they could make this fight massive in Ukraine
Aren’t the Russian and Ukrainians brought up to be over the top manly? Surely fighting sports over there are the main sports?

If Saudi brings in the big bucks the fight will go there, it's all about money

100%
Saudi made no money off the last fight really did they?
But they did it for exposure, as in look at us. We’re open for all.
Don’t see why they can’t pack that Jeddah stadium, the new one they build. 60k+

They will turn out in their droves for a world heavyweight championship fight, especially with Vitali cheerleading.

Maybe not, but I’m pretty sure who has the final say will have been!

I don't think there's any chance of it being in Kiev - this has Wembley written all over it!!!

In fairness to him, Wladimir was the same when he was unified Champ and some of his mandatories were laughable (Alex Leapai anyone?)
