ANTHONY JOSHUA is out for revenge when he faces off in his much-anticipated rematch with Oleksandr Usyk.
And he will do so as the underdog when the pair meet in Saudi Arabia on August 20.
Ukrainian champ Usyk defeated Joshua by unanimous decision last September in front of 65,000 fans at the Tottenham Hostpur Stadium.
In truth, AJ was fortunate the fight went to a decision and he wasn't finished off by his opponent before then.
But just as he did when losing out in shock defeat to Andy Ruiz Jr, Joshua seeks to win back his belts in a revenge mission in the Saudi desert.
Betfair have the Brit as big as 17/10 to become champion once again and get the win.
Joshua boasts a career record of 24-2 and hopes to becomes unified heavyweight champion of the world for a third time.
Having won all four belts from Joseph Parker in 2018, it's been a rollercoaster for AJ.
