Anthony Joshua arrives Saudi Arabia ahead of Andy Ruiz rematch

Anthony Joshua has arrived in Saudi Arabia ahead of his rematch with Andy Ruiz Jr., which will take place on Saturday, December 7, 2019, in Diriyah.

The British-Nigerian boxer will be looking to regain his IBF, WBA and WBO titles after losing them in a shock defeat to Ruiz Jr back in June at Madison Square Garden. The Mexican boxer defeated Joshua in the seventh-round to hand British/Nigerian boxer his first professional loss.

Sports authorities in Saudi Arabia are said to have tabled almost $100million (£83million) for the match to be held there.
