• British boxer looks lighter and slimmer for Saturday’s bout
Anthony Joshua gave little away about his new slimline physique or his tactics to defeat Andy Ruiz Jr in their rematch in the briefest of public workouts in Saudi Arabia on Tuesday. He was, however, happy to advertise his powers of prophecy, predicting a trilogy with the Mexican-American whatever the result of the fight on Saturday.
After barely a minute of shadowboxing in a ring in front of a huge government complex in Riyadh, Joshua said Ruiz had been on his mind since he stepped in as a late replacement to meet him in June – and would continue to be whatever the result of their WBA, IBF and WBO heavyweight title fight in Diriyah.
