Anthony Joshua has landed 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.
