Andy Ruiz has finally agreed to face Anthony Joshua in a rematch which has been scheduled to take place in Saudi Arabia.
Recall that Andy Ruiz knocked Anthony Joshua out in a bout that took place back in June to claim the WBA, IBF, WBO and IBO heavyweight titles.
However, he felt skeptical about the venue for a rematch due to security reasons. The rematch was first pushed for the UK, Joshua’s home soil, but Andy Ruiz turned it down and requested for it to take place in New York at the Madison Square Garden where he defeated Anthony Joshua.
A neutral ground in Saudi Arabia was picked and the idea was welcomed by both boxers who will now face each other in what has been tagged ‘Clash of the Dunes’, which will take place on the 7th of December in Diriyah.
