The British boxer will look to reclaim his WBA, IBF, WBO and IBO world titles - having suffered a shock defeat to lose them to the Mexican in June.
Anthony Joshua and Andy Ruiz Jr. will hold the first of three news conferences on Wednesday in Diriyah, Saudi Arabia. Both fighters will be in attendance to promote their December 7 rematch in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. It’ll be a full week of press conferences for the fighters. They’ll be meeting on Thursday in New York, and then on Friday in London.
When is the Ruiz vs Joshua ring walk?
It is good news for British fans that it will not be the early hours of the morning - like the first clash between the pair in New York.

The ring walks will begin at 10pm UK time - that is 1am in Saudi Arabia.
How can I watch the fight?

This will be available for £19.95, with the full undercard and main event shown.
You can also live stream for the same price on your computer, mobile and tablet devices.
Who else is on the fight card?
Andy Ruiz vs Anthony Joshua is the only fight currently confirmed on the card.
Yet, the Brit has previously stated that he hopes there will be a women's bout in Saudi Arabia.
It would have been better for the U.S press conference to take place in Los Angeles, California rather than New York. Ruiz’s fan base is in Southern California, not New York. Joshua arguably has more boxing fans in New York than Ruiz. It doesn’t make sense at all for the press conference to take place there. If the idea is to create more subscribers to DAZN, Ruiz Joshua free stream then California where the U.S press conference should take place. It’s unclear whether Team Ruiz had any say so about the location for the U.S press conference. Ruiz may need to talk it up to keep boxing fans from falling asleep, because former IBF/WBA/WBO heavyweight champion Joshua (22-1, 21 KOs) could make it dull if he’s going to be using canned speeches.
