The biggest heavyweight fight of the year is taking place this weekend, with Anthony Joshua taking on Andy Ruiz Jr for the second time in 2019.
After suffering a shock defeat in New York back in June, Joshua goes into the fight needing a win to regain his IBF, WBA (Super) and WBO world titles.
Ruiz Jr knocked his opponent down four times before the bout was called off in the seventh round in the summer, providing one of the biggest upsets in heavyweight boxing history.
The rematch – dubbed the Clash on the Dunes – is taking place in Saudi Arabia this Saturday, with the fight getting underway at around 9pm UK time.
