How many fans are at Anthony Joshua vs Oleksandr Usyk fight tonight?

The ‘Rage on the Red Sea’ will play out at the Jeddah Superdome in Saudi Arabia this Saturday, as Anthony Joshua looks to regain his heavyweight titles from Oleksandr Usyk.

Usyk, 35, comfortably outpointed Joshua, 32, in London last September to dethrone the Briton, handing “AJ” the second loss of his professional career.

Meanwhile, Usyk stayed unbeaten with the victory, which also saw the Ukrainian become a two-weight world champion following his stint as the only undisputed cruiserweight king of the four-belt era.

Joshua travelled to Saudi Arabia to reclaim the WBA, WBO, IBF and IBO belts in December 2019, outpointing Andy Ruiz Jr in Riyadh six months after a shock stoppage loss to the Mexican-American. Now Joshua returns to Saudi Arabia with the same mission: regain those belts.
