Saudi Arabia makes U-turn, presents big gift to Joshua and Ruiz less than 2 days to rematch

Anthony Joshua vs Andy Ruiz rematch will not only come with massive attention on the two superstar boxers alone.

Interestingly, the Saudi government has added a taste of difference and class with a huge cake built in the structure of the heavyweight stars.

The fight dubbed "Clash of the Dunes" will see Joshua up against the Mexican champion as he seeks to reclaim his belts in the bout widely adjudged his greatest test.

Ruiz stunned the world when he handed the British-Nigerian born pugilist his first career fight with a seventh round knock-out at Madison Park in New York on June 27.

Joshua immediately triggered the rematch clause in his contract with Ruiz team and the second showdown of the fight will hold this Saturday, December 7, in Riyadh with the IBF, WBC, and WBO belts put on the line once again.

The fight was earlier scheduled to hold in Cardiff City in England but Saudi Arabia came in with a massive offer and luring terms.

And with attention focused on the two heavyweight stars on Saturday night, the desert country has come up with a big cake that captures the idea of the fight.

The cake was built with Joshua and Ruiz's statues standing beside each other inside the boxing ring with the heavyweight belts placed on the robe-line beside the Briton.
