As tomorrow's fight in the desert of Saudi Arabia will be the first step to unify the Heavyweight division, Deontay Wilder and Tyson Fury will be watching keenly. It is also no surprise that some boxing enthusiasts see ''The Clash on the Dunes'' as an elimination fight. Not unexpectedly, both Joshua and Ruiz have shed some weight in order to be more mobile.

Ruiz Jr is aiming to repeat his shock defeat of Joshua in June

However and surprisingly, in the build up to the fight, both Joshua and Ruiz have refused to use industrial language when referring to each other with the champion saying that his mom didn't raise him to trash-talk. The Mexican-American, with his soft voice and gentle demeanour seems such an unusually genial and therefore endearing champion boxer. He looks determined to win again.

As for AJ, he will have to summon a better defence if he is going to avenge that shock defeat by Ruiz

The fighters have had to defend taking the riches from a regime with such a questionable human rights record.
