How to watch Joshua vs Usyk live free online

The rematch that boxing fans in the UK, Ukraine, and all around the world have been waiting for is on.

It is the biggest fight of the year, with all four heavyweight belts on the line. Oleksandr Usyk is the champion. He holds the IBF, WBA, WBO, and IBO titles and is therefore currently undisputed.

His challenger is the man who he took all four belts from. British heavyweight Anthony Joshua. Joshua is a man with a point to prove. He wants his revenge.

This really is a fight you don’t want to miss. But unless you live in a country that has pay-per-view coverage, you are likely to miss out.

But don’t worry, there is a way to watch Joshua vs Usyk online completely for free with the help of a little app. It doesn’t involve any of those dodgy Reddit threads either!

If you want to know how, skip straight through to the instructions here. If you want to know how it works, keep right on reading.

When and where is the fight taking place?

The big rematch between Oleksandr Usyk and Anthony Joshua will take place on Saturday 20th August at the Jeddah Superdome in Saudi Arabia.

There will be a packed crowd with the Saudi Royal Family and their hangers-on likely to be well-represented at this prestigious event. But for ordinary Saudi’s and boxing fans living outside the Middle East, it will be one hell of a pilgrimage to get there.

That means most real boxing fans will be tuning into the fight on TV, and they will want to be well-settled on their sofa by the time the first round gets underway at 9.15pm BST (5.15pm ET, 3.15pm PT).

What you need to watch Joshua vs Usyk?

If you’re in a country that has a pay-per-view showing of the fight you can hand over your cash and watch no issue.

But these are strange times for global broadcasts and if you find yourself without a way to pay to watch the fight, there’s another way to watch for free.

The fight is being broadcast for free in Ukraine on MEGOGO and the YouTube channel of Usyk17 in Ukraine. Needless to say, these channels will be backing Usyk, but if Joshua fans can put up with that, it is available free-to-air.

The problem is that you will need to be in Ukraine to stream it live on MEGAGO/Usyk17. This is where you need a little help, and that help comes in the form of a VPN.

A VPN will let you reroute your internet data through a Ukrainian server and fool MEGAGO/Usyk17 into letting you watch the fight even if you are outside Ukraine.

Who’s going to win this fight?

Most boxing matches have a clear favourite but when it comes to Joshua v Usyk, it is almost impossible to call.

When they met in the initial bout between these two back in September 2021 in England, Usyk was a surprise unanimous victor on the scorecard of all three judges.

He is a mountain of a man, standing at 6’3’’ and weighing in at 221 pounds last time round. He has a reach of an incredible 78” and his record in professional boxing so far is unblemished.

He has fought 19 professional bouts and has a 19-0-0 record which includes a dominant 13 knockouts.

Joshua is the bigger man in every regard. He is 6’6” and weighed in at 240 pounds back in September last year.

His reach is 82”, and at 32 years old, he is also three years younger than his rival.

But Usyk beat him last time out, and of his 26 professional bouts, Joshua has a record of 24-0-2 with a whopping 22 knockouts to his name.

Joshua has a point to prove after being far from happy with the result last time out. Usyk, on the other hand, has his status as undisputed World Heavyweight Champion to defend.

The bookies make Usyk the marginal favourite, but there is only a hairs-breadth between them.

One thing’s for sure, this is going to be one hell of a fight!

In Summary

Fights like this don’t come round too often. Joshua v Usyk is a World heavyweight rematch with all four belts and the future of both fighters on the line.

It is the very definition of a boxing bout you don’t want to miss. And thanks to a VPN, you can watch it live and for free from anywhere in the world.
