Andy Ruiz vs Anthony Joshua II undercard preview: An all-heavyweight lineup

Andy Ruiz Jr is rematching Anthony Joshua after his phenomenal upset of the heavyweight champion six months ago, but they won’t not the only big boys in action Saturday in Saudi Arabia, as the entire main card is composed of heavyweight match up.

In the co-main event, veteran Alexander Povetkin (35-2, 24 KOs) will face Michael Hunter (18-1, 12 KOs) in a WBC title eliminator. Michael Hunter moved up to heavyweight after losing to Oleksandr Usyk at cruiserweight. He’s 6-0 as a heavyweight and picked up a couple of decent wins over Martin Bakole and Sergey Kuzmin (and a quick KO of the mighty Fabio Maldonado).
