Anthony Joshua vs Andy Ruiz Jr TV channel: What channel is Joshua vs Ruiz Jr on tonight?
ANTHONY JOSHUA and Andy Ruiz Jr will go head-to-head at Madison Square Garden in New York tonight but what TV channel is the fight on?
Anthony Joshua, 29, faces Andy Ruiz Jr after almost a decade of the two very nearly crossing paths.
The IBF, WBA and WBO heavyweight champion makes the latest defence of his titles on the occasion of his United States debut.
Ruiz Jr, also 29, was only drafted in as Joshua's challenger when Jarrell Miller's six-month suspension ruled the Briton's first-choice opponent out.
The two fought at the same world championships in 2011, a year before Joshua excelled in winning Olympic gold.
They narrowly missed each other again when Ruiz Jr suffered his only professional defeat to Joseph Parker, who Joshua consequently ended up fighting instead.
"We were at the world championships in Baku in 2011," Joshua said.
"He knows a lot about me and I do him. He turned pro a year after when I started boxing so he has been around a long time and knows his craft. I know a lot about Ruiz.
"People speak about being fully focused on June 1. I am, but you can't not look at the bigger picture. I'm sure he is doing it himself, you naturally look at the bigger picture.
"I don't put blinkers on about seeing the potential (of fights with rival heavyweights Wilder and Fury).
"You had Wilder-(Dominic) Breazeale, you've got the Fury-(Tom) Schwarz fight after; you've got me in the middle. It's all about what's next.
"Even though it's not the fight of the century or the mega fights, the possibilities keep me motivated."
