Anthony Joshua And Andy Ruiz Take Rematch To Middle East

The rematch between Anthony Joshua and unified heavyweight champion Andy Ruiz is one highly anticipated bout, but it would not be happening in the United Kingdom neither in the United States.

Saudi Arabia is the choice destination for the fight since both fighters could not compromise on location and it has been scheduled to happen on December 7 Diriyah, Saudi Arabia. 

Joshua's position was that the match be staged in Cardiff where he fought Carlos Takam and Joseph Parker. That did not sit well with Ruiz who is a Mexican-native and would want it taken to Mexico because he is the first boxing heavyweight champion from the country. 

Ruiz dethroned the British former heavyweight champion in a seven-round knockout in New York at Madison Square in New York in June and gained four heavyweight titles - WBA, IBF, WBO and IBO.
