Anthony Joshua's promoter Eddie Hearn has confirmed that the former heavyweight champion has triggered the rematch clause against current heavyweight champion, Oleksandr Usyk.

Usyk stunned Joshua last month, winning by unanimous decision to take the WBA, IBF and WBO heavyweight belts.

Hearn says Joshua has got his head back in the game and he's currently training.

He says they are looking at Joshua becoming a three-time heavyweight world champion and March is when people are likely to see his rematch against Usyk.

Usyk has previously said he wants the rematch to take place at the Olimpiyskiy Stadium in Kyiv.
