So where will the Ruiz-Joshua rematch finally take place?

The fact that Wlad was knocked out by Puritty (and Sanders.... and Brewster) just strengthens my argument. Thanks.

Immediately after losing to Brewster, his next fight was in the States. From there on out it seems every other fight was in the States. He goes back to being champion and continues fighting in the States.

Comparing number of fights is meaningless. Wlad took a lot longer to fight for a championship, is all. Once he became champion, he fought as much outside Germany as he did in Germany.

He didn't cower in Germany after the first time he got knocked out.

In comparison, Joshua became champion rather quickly, the whole time in the comfort of home. The first time he ventures outside..... BAM!

Now he refuses to leave the UK and wants Ruiz to come to him.

Fact.

Anyway...... back on topic 👍🏻
Saudi Arabia is 2 hours ahead of the UK and 7 hours ahead of New York City.

Midnight in Saudi gives us 5pm USA & 10pm in the UK

That works for me 😎

BTW, I think you had mentioned something about the crowd. Curiously, I myself have a problem imagining a screaming crowd of fans in a Saudi venue. Neutral, but blah.

It'll be worse than Tyson v Douglas, no UK fans will go due to the fact there's no chance of fucking any women and a strict no alcohol policy in the entire country.

I morally oppose it. Would prefer the States tbh.

AJ's lost a LOAD of muscle, hopefully less of the weights and focusing on speed for the rematch.

He looks like a cruiserweight in this pic.

Saudi Arabia just announced.

Joke ffs but this will be the future for the big ones.

Shades of Ali-Foreman in Zaire. Ultimate neutral place if there ever was one. Although Ali and Foreman were both Americans, any venue in the States would've probably leaned one way or the other depending on where the fight was held. So Ali and Foreman went to frigging Zaire to fight. Now Ruiz and Joshua will get it on in Saudi Arabia. At least in Zaire the crowd was excited and acted as such. Still don't know about the excitement level in Saudi Arabia, not exactly a hotbed for sports.

BTW..... I should've made the poll shorter

I see a late vote for Saudi Arabia.

100% it Will, bottomless pit of money that every fighter will want to get a piece of.
Shit for fans great for the fighters.
Imagine a fight arena with no booze; no atmosphere and "ring men" between rounds"
