That was some of Joshua's best work and is the power to the body shots going to be the way to go? Five gone, and it's anyone's fight.

A good body shot from Joshua and again Usyk is forced back, momentarily bouncing off the ropes. Better from Joshua.

Into the fifth. A sweeping right hook from Joshua catches the Usyk gloves but still forces the champion to wobble a bit backwards. But Joshua can't build on that and ever so quickly Usyk is back in action.

Usyk then complains that Joshua has caught him with a low shot.

Brutal Sportz: Let's be blunt, In the history of boxing Joshua is a very average overhyped fighter. Go back to the Ali era he would not make a ripple in the pond.

Sulaimon: Uysk is more offensive and Joshua has got to be fearless, more aggressive and hit Uysk more. Anthony Joshua shouldnt box, he should fight.

Usyk dances forward and is starting to be more aggressive, but that draws a response from Joshua who also looks to step up the pace himself.

It's closer than the first meeting was and it all depends on what you like as to how you'd be scoring this one. Just a few signs that it's beginning to heat up nicely.

Multiple world champion Terence Crawford and England's former WBC cruiserweight title holder Tony Bellew.

A right uppercut from Joshua, a shot which we've seen him have so much success with in the past, but this time Usyk is too quick and dances out the way of it. Good signs of aggression though from Joshua, although he has to be careful to not leave himself open for counters.

Robert Garcia tells Joshua "we're three [rounds to] zero", which seems extremely generous. "You're winning every round champ," Joshua is then told. Not too sure Joshua has won all three myself, but every round is a close one.

Better from Joshua with a left instantly followed by a right, although the Usyk defence was strong and soaked up some of the power from those two shots.

British boxer David Adeleye and American lightweight Devin Haney give their thoughts.

Into the third.

Joshua tries to mix it up with a crushing right hand to the Usyk body, but the champion shows no signs of being hurt by that one.

Another straight right from Joshua gets some cheers from the British fans, but, just like the first, it's a tight round to call.

Mark: This is definitely a case of the bludgeon versus the rapier. If over-muscled AJ doesn’t get it done in 6 rounds he’s toast.

Joshua tries a straight right, but Usyk sees it coming and is able to duck underneath it. Usyk bouncing around proving hard to hit at the moment.

A good right hook from Joshua lands, but Usyk takes it nicely. Usyk fires in a left, which catches the head of Joshua and there's the first round in the books. Tentative from both men, but a close opener.

"We need more presence in the centre of the ring," Joshua is told by his corner.

Usyk, in the Ukraine colours, tries to spring out the jab to find the range. Joshua lands with a straight left early on. both men springing around on an early fact-finding mission.

Right, here we go in Saudi Arabia. Usyk v Joshua 2. Let's go.

"This is the rematch the world has been waiting for," says ring announcer Michael Buffer.

Both fighters prowling around the ring ready for action.

It's a subdued "let's get ready to rumbleeeeeeeeeeee", but it's still there.

Our referee today is Luis Pabon of Puerto Rico.

Ghulam: Feel for anyone who's actually travelled to watch this fight. Absolutely zero atmosphere and has the feel of an amateur fight!

Mytvcinema: Have heard more atmosphere at York Hall.

Can AJ block out the pressure and get his belts back?

Britain's former Olympic champion Audley Harrison hopes so.
