Ukraine's defending champion Oleksandr Usyk is attracting the money ahead of his"Rage on the Red Sea" heavyweight world title rematch with Britain's Anthony Joshua in Saudi Arabia on Saturday.

"Most of the commentary around this rematch has been in favour of a Oleksandr Usyk victory, with the Ukrainian being very much the one our customers want to be with ahead of Saturday night," said Hill spokesman Tony Kenny.Both men will be fighting for more than a fistful of world heavyweight boxing belts and a bumper payday when they step into the ring in Jeddah.

The 35-year-old, who has served with the Ukrainian army, wore Cossack clothes and stood to sing a patriotic call to arms when the fighters came face to face at a news conference in Jeddah on Wednesday. Joshua, who lost to Usyk in front of a sell-out home crowd at London's Tottenham Hotspur Stadium last September, is fighting for his future.
