Both men burst onto the scene at London 2012, Joshua winning gold in the super-heavyweight division, as Usyk triumphed in the heavyweight category.
Having dominated the cruiserweight scene over recent years, the Ukrainian is now aiming to establish himself as one of the world's foremost heavyweights. Taking down IBF, WBA (Super), WBO and IBO champion Joshua on his own turf would be seismic.
It's the man from Watford who holds all of the aces, not only in height and reach, but also in age and experience, but Usyk could prove a tougher customer than many of his recent opponents.

How to watch Joshua vs Usyk if you're away from your country
As we say, DAZN has this wrapped up almost everywhere. But if you're abroad right now and discover that your coverage is geo-blocked, then the only alternative that we know is to use a VPN to dial in to a country that is showing the fight.
The software is perfect for this as it allows you to change your IP address and appear to be in a completely different location - and all through a safe, encrypted connection. Here's how to get started.
Use a VPN to live stream Joshua vs Usyk anywhere
Remember, there are loads of benefits to using a VPN beyond just helping you regain access to streaming services and content from abroad. One of the biggest is security: by using encrypted tunnels, streaming VPNs give you a robust first-line of defense against cybercriminals and government snooping. This makes everyday tasks like online shopping and banking much safer, and many people choose to use one for that reason alone.

Not in a country that has DAZN? Residents of the country who find themselves abroad for the fight should find they can access their domestic DAZN subscription just like they would at home - wherever you are in the world, all you need is the help of a good VPN.
It's worth noting though that if you're looking to subscribe to DAZN for the first time you may find the service manages to effectively block certain VPNs at the point of creating an account.

What is DAZN?
Pronounced 'Da Zone', DAZN is a sports-centric streaming service that launched in 2016 and is now available in over 200 countries all around the world including the US, Canada, UK, Australia and New Zealand.
Its offering varies by region, but as an idea, it owns the rights to the Premier League, Champions League, NFL, cricket, snooker, rugby union and more in Canada - one of its original and biggest markets.

The price of DAZN also varies depending on where you are in the world but is generally competitive - in newer markets like Australia, an introductory offer is still running that has it available for just $2.99 a month, while in more established markets like Canada it costs CAD$20 a month. It also offers a FREE trial in some areas.
Plus, it works with pretty much any modern device imaginable, including: iOS, Android, PS4, PS5, Xbox One X and S, Amazon Fire TV Stick, Apple TV, Chromecast, and smart TVs.
Who is Anthony Joshua?
Anthony Joshua is a two-time unified heavyweight champion and one of boxing's biggest stars.
The 31-year-old has held the WBA, IBF, WBO, and IBO belts since December 2019, when he beat Andy Ruiz Jr. in their rematch, having lost the titles to him in June of that year.
AJ has fought professionally 25 times, winning 24 of those and losing once.
That 22 of his 24 victories (92%) came by knockout demonstrates his power, though a criticism that has plagued him throughout his career is that he's yet to face any of the best fighters in the business.
The world has been calling for Joshua to fight Tyson Fury for several years, but each fighter has repeatedly insisted that the other has been ducking the fight.
Who is Oleksandr Usyk?
Oleksandr Usyk is the only fighter in history to unify all four cruiserweight world titles, which he vacated in 2019 in order to step up to the heavyweight division.
The 34-year-old southpaw is undefeated in his professional career, winning all 18 of his fights, 13 by knockout (72%).
He can't compete with Joshua for sheer punching power, but that neither is that his style. Usyk is a defence-first fighter, capable of absorbing shots and out-boxing opponents in short, fast bursts.
If he can withstand the step up in weight, he could represent a very tricky opponent for Joshua.

Usyk may also cast an eye on some of the undercard action, which features a cruiserweight title showdown between Lawrence Okolie and Dilan Prasovic, both of whom are undefeated.

Also on the card is former WBA (Super) and The Ring super-middleweight champion Callum Smith's first fight at light-heavyweight, having made the switch after being defeated by Canelo last year.
Campbell Hatton, the son of the great Ricky Hatton, is also fighting at lightweight.
