Where is Joshua vs Ruiz 2?

Lee Cleveland Updated August 28, 2019

Diriyah, Saudi Arabia will host the rematch between newly-crowned WBA/WBO/IBF Heavyweight Champion Andy Ruiz and former kingpin Anthony Joshua.

And, apparently, a makeshift outdoor arena is being constructed for the event. However, if there are complications Diriyah's King Fahd International Stadium might be available as it seats 67,000.

Located on the north-western outskirts of the Saudi capital, Riyadh. Diriyah was the original home of the Saudi royal family, and served as the capital of the Emirate of Diriyah under the first Saudi dynasty from 1744 to 1818.

A small but modern town with ancient ruins, it remains a tourist attraction with cool cafes and a lot of culture.

Joshua vs Ruiz will take place in Diriyah on December 7, 2019.

Their first bout was in New York City at the fabled Madison Square Garden.
