Joshua was expected to meet Tyson Fury to unite the heavyweight titles this summer, but the 'Gypsy King' was ordered by a court to take on 'Bronze Bomber' Deontay Wilder in their trilogy clash instead.
AJ will now face Usyk, though, who is unbeaten in his 18 professional bouts to date - posing a threat to Joshua's stellar legacy.
