• Ruiz said: ‘We’re going to bring rematch back here in the US’• Tyson Fury backs world champion to repeat his June victory
Eddie Hearn has warned Andy Ruiz Jr he must honour the contract for his rematch with Anthony Joshua in
Saudi Arabia after the Mexican-American insisted the bout would take place in the United States.
On Monday Joshua’s promoter held a press conference to confirm the fight will take place in Diriyah on the outskirts of the Saudi capital, Riyadh, on 7 December and confirmed Ruiz Jr had “100% signed the contract for this fight”. Yet, speaking in an
Instagram live video on Wednesday as he travelled to
Mexico City to film an advert, the 29-year-old WBO, WBA and IBF champion claimed that details of the rematch had yet to be announced.
