Andy Ruiz Jr vs Anthony Joshua II preview: A huge rematch of a heavyweight shocker

Just about six months ago, Andy Ruiz shocked the world when he knocked out heavyweight king Anthony Joshua as a late replacement and a huge underdog. Can Ruiz do it again or will Joshua regain his throne on Saturday in Saudi Arabia?

Back in March, the fight started pretty much as expected with Joshua controlling the fight at distance in the early rounds and dropping Ruiz in the third round. That’s when things went off track for the British champion, he tried to jump on Ruiz and finish him as fast as possible. However, Ruiz wasn’t that badly hurt and possesses speed belying his physique.
