The much-anticipated rematch is now set for August 20.
Anthony Joshua will face Oleksandr Uzyk live on Sky Sports
This will be AJ's last fight on Sky before his DAZN contract kicks in
The fight, known as the Rage on the Red Sea will be held in Jeddah (Saudi Arabia).
UK viewers who are not able to travel to the Middle East can still catch all of the AJ action on Sky.
It is unknown how much viewers will pay to see if Watford's star can regain the WBA, IBF, and WBO belts.
SunSport revealed earlier in July that the broadcaster had won the rights to show the program on Box Office as part of a PS25million deal.
AJ vs Usyk 2, date, live stream, and TV channel for blockbuster rematch
Joshua, 32, left the broadcasters last month in order to sign a PS100m deal for DAZN, a sport streaming company.
His August 20 Saudi Arabia match with the 35-year old Ukraine icon was not part the long-term agreement on British shores. DAZN will however show it throughout the rest of the globe.
Eddie Hearn, Matchroom boss, sold all rights to the Jeddah showdowns to the Middle Eastern hosts who then held a bidding battle won by Sky.
And win or lose in Jeddah: DAZN will broadcast Joshua’s future fights, while Sky will lose their star attraction.

He will be hoping that history repeats itself after the harrowing defeat to Usyk in September at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Joshua said that Robert Garcia was his new trainer and that Usyk had busted his a** for a few rounds during the fight.
"And I must accept that defeat as a man, I have got to be accountable.
"In September's fight, I was wrong. He was right. It is simple.
"I don’t like to complicate the situation because there’s simplicity in genius. "I'm going to keep it simple."
