This is actually disgusting on all accounts and more from AJ and Hearn than the Saudi regime. AJ and all about the fans Hearn putting the fight on there means, female fans, your wife or gf etc can’t go. Will that put Katie Taylor on the undercard or this one? Lol, like fvck they will, obviously. Good time to be had by all? I think not
Where will I be going for pre-drinks? Oh wait a minute. There’s a ton of ‘mutual countries’ where this fight could’ve been good fun
I used to be an AJ fan and despite his flaws thought he was good for boxing but now I’m hoping KO1 for Ruiz.
I can hear Hearn now
"Katie is a headliner and a ppv star in her own right now"

It does look like it's very difficult or near impossible to get a visa,Fast car has sold out here,maybe he is cashing in his golden goose ?
It’s not that hard getting a visa when you’ve purchased boxing tix.
Where did you find that out ? On the Saudi visa site it said no tourist visas for UK citizens

If Joshua tries stand up to Ruiz at any point he gets bashed again. His only chance is to employ a boring jab & grab style, and back away for 36 stultifying minutes. I'm not sure he was ever convinced of his own greatness, he seemed embarrassed being given a belt for the Charles Martin farce, and I think Ruiz proved some things to him he knew all along. He's made a lot of money for very little hazard, can't take a punch and
folds under pressure. I think Ruiz will do him again, whatever the location.
He folded under pressure once, to say 'he folds under pressure' is a bit disingenuous considering he has come through tough fights and won before.
Joshua was never anything special, but I still feel he has enough about him to beat the vast majority of today's heavyweights, Ruiz included.
He made a few mistakes last time and was punished for it, Ruiz didn't let him off the hook once he had him hurt.
It could well happen again, but it is just as likely Joshua finds a way to win.

There was women in the crowd and ringside at Smith v Groves.
I think it's a crap move and dont agree with it at all but it's not like boxing has got many scruples is it?

There won’t be alcohol - they wont even let alcohol transit the country on Saudi Airlines even if it’s being on-forwarded.

Visas are a nightmare to get hold of and they won't be selling booze. What are we missing?

Maybe fast Eddie will pay Ruiz 40 mill USD to take a dive.
That would be small change compared to what Joshua would make if he won and fought Wilder and Fury.
If he loses its over.

I expect a lopsided victory and then everyone underrating him now can go back to overrating him. The only adjustment he has to make is not act like Pete McNeely when he hurts him. Obviously if he's mentally cracked in the chin department that goes out the window.

IDK. I feel like Ruiz will hit and hurt him again. whether or not AJ can survive this time is up to your last statement.

I don't think Andy is much of a puncher, doubt he catches lightning in a bottle again. He's going to be in the worst shape of his life. At least 280.
