A British professional boxer, Anthony Joshua will face Mexican fighter, Andy Ruiz Jr. in their rematch in Saudi Arabia on 7th December, Igbere TV reports.
Igbere TV reports that Joshua held the WBA (Super), IBF and WBO titles between 2016 and 2019. At regional level he held the British and Commonwealth heavyweight titles from 2014 to 2016.
The Mexican-American underdog shocked the world when he knocked out AJ to claim the WBA, IBF and WBO belts on June 1, though the Brit has now activated his rematch clause and is determined to secure revenge.
As he handed Ruiz the opportunity to begin with, Joshua was contractually able to call the shots with regards to where this second fight will take place.
However, the new champion made it publicly known that he did not want to travel to the UK and so the Brit’s team sought a neutral venue.
