Anthony Joshua will make his US debut on 1 June when he travels to New York City and faces Mexican contender Andy Ruiz Jr.
What’s at stake?
Joshua’s IBF, WBA (Super), WBO and IBO world heavyweight titles are on the line in this one. Plenty for Ruiz to gain, nothing for him to lose. It’s also Joshua’s US debut so a breakthrough on the other side of the pond could see him turn into a global superstar.
What time will the ring walks be?
The main event ring walks will likely take place around the 4am Sunday morning uk time
but as with anything in boxing, it’s subject to change.
The event at Madison Square Garden also features an impressive undercard,
