Saturday, 7 December 2019
All eyes will be on Anthony Joshua as he looks to reclaim his WBA (Super), IBF, WBO and IBO heavyweight world titles on Saturday.
The British fighter was defeated by Andy Ruiz Jr on the 1st of June 2019 in one of the biggest upsets in the history of boxing.
Joshua, 30, went into the fight undefeated and he was widely considered to be a clear favourite having recorded 21 victories by knockout.
This time the Olympic Gold medalist knows what to expect from Ruiz Jr, who boasts a dangerous jab.
“Ruiz doesn’t get enough credit for his jab. We need to be prepared for that, which is why we got so many sparring partners in.”

“Sparring is important because it is the closest thing you can get to the fight. We don’t always want to do it because it is a big cost but it’s the best way to prepare."
Meanwhile, Ruiz Jr is keen to successfully defend his titles in his first attempt since he won them in New York City, USA.
The Mexican-American fighter was the underdog in the first fight as he had recorded 32 wins and one defeat in 33 professional fights .
Ruiz Jr's only defeat came against New Zealand boxer Joseph Parker with the duo fighting for the WBO title in December 2016.
The California-born boxer is the first boxer of Mexican heritage to become a world heavyweight champion, and second Hispanic world heavyweight champion overall
Furthermore, Ruiz Jr is ranked as the world's best active heavyweight by the Transnational Boxing Rankings Board, second by BoxRec and third by The Ring magazine.
