Posted to his Instagram, Anthony Joshua uploaded a fight trailer for the rematch between him and Oleksandr Usyk, scheduled for August 20th in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.

“It’s all going down in Jeddah.”

#2. Jake Paul teases new sports show

Jake Paul revealed on Twitter that he has a new weekly sports show he will be hosting that launches soon. He stated:

“I’m interviewing Devin Haney tomorrow for my new weekly sports show launching soon. I got some really good questions, but what questions do y’all have for him?”

One fan replied that there needs to be a show that ‘cuts through the BS.’

Paul replied:

“The literal name of the show is called BS.”

Paul was supposed to be boxing Saturday in Madison Square Garden against Hasim Rahman Jr., but issues with Rahman Jr.’s ability to make weight resulted in the entire event being scrapped. It seems Paul is bouncing back from this adversity well and looks forward to increasing his presence in the boxing community with this talk show.

#1. Teofimo Lopez sends warning to junior-welterweight fighters

Teofimo Lopez (16-1, 12 KOs) is making his return to the boxing ring on Saturday, August 13 at the Resorts World Event Center at Resorts World in Las Vegas against Pedro Campa (34-1-1, 23 KOs). This will be his first time back in the spotlight since his split-decision loss to George Kambosos Jr. last November.

Lopez, the former unified and lineal lightweight champion, will now be debuting at junior welterweight and he has a message for everyone in his new division.

Teofimo Lopez stated:

“The Takeover is back! I took over the lightweight division and I plan on doing the same at junior welterweight. Pedro Campa is a tough opponent with an aggressive Mexican style and I can’t wait to put on a show for the fans.”
