The rematch for the heavyweight title between Anthony Joshua and Oleksandr Usyk has been set for Jeddah Super Dome, Saudi Arabia.

The venue has previously hosted a major WWE pay-per-view event since the Elimination Chamber event in March.
The dome is approximately 46 meters tall and 34,636 square meters in size. Its outer circle is 220 meters in diameter. People took notice when it broke two records for constructing buildings.
