Construction of Diriyah Arena is completed. The stadium, which will become the place where on December 7 Anthony Joshua (22-1, 21 KOs) will face Andy Ruiz Jr. (33-1, 22 KOs), can accommodate 15,000 fans.
Diriyah Arena was built specifically for the organization of the second duel between the Englishman and the Mexican. A week after the fight it will also host a men's tennis tournament.
Anthony Joshua has already arrived in Saudi Arabia, where in less than two weeks he will try to avenge his first loss as a pro. WBA, WBO and IBF heavyweight titles will be at stake in this meeting.
The next week there will be a series of press events on this duel. The fighters will participate in a press conference and an open training session. At the same evening Alexander Povetkin will fight Michael Hunter and Filip Hrgovic will face Eric Molina.
