Anthony Joshua vs. Andy Ruiz fight start time, watch online, live stream, date, fight card on DAZN
Everything you need to know in order to watch the heavyweight showdown on Saturday
Unified IBF, IBO, WBA and WBO heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua is already a massive star in his home country of England, but the time has come for the champ to bring his brand to the United States. Joshua (22-0, 21 KOs) will enter Madison Square Garden on Saturday night in New York City for the latest defense of his titles as he takes on Andy Ruiz Jr., an opponent who was chosen just recently in the wake of original challenger Jarrell "Big Baby" Miller being removed from the date due to multiple failed drug tests.
All of this comes on the heels of Deontay Wilder's violent knockout win over Dominic Breazeale and his announced plans to take on Luis Ortiz later in 2019 and Tyson Fury in early 2020, with the latter announcement coming on Friday evening. Joshua, however, has his own test ahead of him in Ruiz, a former WBO title challenger in his own right.
