The champion Ruiz, a Mexican who won the belts fair and square from Joshua in the last fight. A fight the Ruiz was a late replacement for someone else..
The rematch is being held in Saudi Arabia. ..the beheading capital of the world. ..a Mexican fighter, with the background and easily available video footage of Mexico beheading videos.... Seems strange to me... So my question is, why would a world champion from Mexico find it easy to stage a match in Saudi Arabia when it's never happened before. |

I was going to say I hope AJ wins but I think Ruiz will but that isn't the question? What are you asking exactly? Is it ethical to fight in Saudi Arabia?

He never set up anything it was down a rematch clause written into the first fight , he didn’t want to go there, but was given reassurances and more money.

Yeah agree with Sheriff, Ruiz set up nothing, Eddie Hearn did, lots of Dolla's in Saudi

Eddie Hearn is an agent, he was approached by Saudi Arabia who no doubt put a multi million pound offer on the table. |

['Social change has no price': Saudi prince defends hosting Joshua-Ruiz Jr fight Prince Abdulaziz bin Turki al-Saud, chairman of the General Sports Authority and a member of the ruling House of Saud, told Sky News mistakes have been made in the past but they were making progress on human rights.

There was talk of Katie Taylor fighting on the undercard and people were getting annoyed about it because they were saying, as a woman she shouldn't fight in a country where women's rights are so low. It was only a rumour though anyway and she isn't fighting there

With her being a woman would Saudi Arabia allow her to do Boxing in their country anyway?

A third of weapons sold by Britain, 12 billion pounds were sold to states on Britain’s watch list for having the worst human rights record.
It’s purley about money and power. |

I don’t understand why Ruiz ( the champion holding the belts ) gets £10 million whilst the challenger ( loser ) Joshua picks up £45 million !?!
