Boxing: World heavyweight champion Andy Ruiz Jr has said he would like his title rematch with Anthony Joshua in December to be in New York instead of Saudi Arabia
Putting profit ahead of politics, the promoter of heavyweight boxer Anthony Joshua is dismissing concerns over the decision to contest a championship fight in Saudi Arabia. Amnesty International contends Joshua will be part of"sportswashing".
World heavyweight champion Andy Ruiz Jr has said he would like his title rematch with Anthony Joshua in December to be in New York instead of Saudi Arabia as announced. "I have not signed anything yet, we are negotiating everything," Ruiz, who holds the IBF, WBO and WBA belts after stunning Joshua at Madison Square Garden in June, told ESPN Mexico."I would like it in New York again, where I beat him. I'm giving him a chance to try and beat me and if he wants the belts, he has to do it there."
Human rights organisation Amnesty International contends Joshua will be part of "sportswashing" – the Saudi government being given a chance to cleanse its image – with the heavyweight title rematch against Andy Ruiz Jr in December on the outskirts of the capital, Riyadh."The contract for the rematch was signed prior to the first fight," Hearn told Sky Sports television. "They are both signed at the same time. There is no other contract.
