We've got a massive fight weekend on our hands with a rematch of two of the world's best heavyweights slated for Saturday night. Unified heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk (19-0, 13 KO) will once again face Anthony Joshua (24-2, 22 KO) after winning the IBF, WBO and WBA belts last year in an upset.
Usyk's unanimous decision win in that matchup was so dominant that he went from the underdog in the first matchup to the favorite entering the rematch. Joshua, who is coming off the second loss of his career, will look to avenge the recent loss in Saudi Arabia where he bounced back from his first career loss against Andy Ruiz Jr.
Saturday's fight is expected to start around 5:30 ET on DAZN and you can check out the full list of odds for Saturday's fight below, including method of victory props, round props and more.
