It’s no longer a report. Yesterday it was announced that the highly anticipated rematch between Andy Ruiz Jr. (33-1) and Anthony Joshua (22-1) will take place in Saudi Arabia on December 7.
In the last week, a lot of media outlets were stating that there is a big chance that the Arabic country could host the world heavyweight championship event instead of the initial favorites Cardiff and New York.
