Anthony Joshua receives Andy Ruiz Jr warning
Legendary boxing promoter Frank Warren has warned Anthony Joshua he won’t be able to outbox Andy Ruiz Jr in their Saudi Arabia rematch tonight. “I just don’t think Joshua can outbox Ruiz Jr,” Warren wrote in his Metro column. “Can he keep him on the end of his jab?
“He’s knocked Ruiz Jr over, but he got up. The issue with Joshua and something we’ve seen a lot in him in recent fights is when he throws big shots, he leaves himself exposed.
“He’s been wobbled before because he leaves himself open when he goes for the kill.
“Can he change that against Ruiz Jr? I’m not sure he can, it’s not something you can change in one camp.”

UFC president Dana White has revealed he hopes to have a deal in place for Floyd Mayweather to fight late next year by March.
During an appearance on the Jim Rome Show, White said, “We sat at the Clippers game.
“We started talking and we literally got a deal done right there on the court.
“We shook hands. We have a deal. And if things play out the way Floyd and I think they will, I’ll probably sit down with Al Haymon in March and get a deal on paper.
