By far the biggest combat sports event this weekend is the highly anticipated heavyweight championship rematch between Andy Ruiz Jr and challenger Anthony Joshua, who lost his WBO, IBF, and WBA titles to Ruiz in shocking fashion back in June. While their first encounter took place in New York, the rematch is in one of the most logical places in the world to host a big boxing match: Saudi Arabia.
With the makeshift arena built in Diriyah, the stage is set for this massive clash between the underdog-turned-champion Ruiz (33-1, 22 KOs) and the British superstar Joshua (22-1, 21 KOs), you’re probably wondering about the logistics of what time the fight will happen.
