come through crisis is —— in terms of anthonyjoshua's fitness. honest, but i do think he has less time. if yes, i would expect him to get through it. how big an eight as there is in the context of everything that you have said for anthonyjoshua? —— of a night cosmic he cannot afford to lose less. this isa make he cannot afford to lose less. this is a make or break contest, in my opinion he has got to win it and when it well. if you loses, it would be difficult to see where he would go from here. he is a very wealthy man, remember, and it is difficult to go through higher training camps all the time, but he has got to internet and winning style. and with the tactics, i think it will do that. thank you. you can hear ritchie and other correspondence on bbc five and they will have a blow by blow commentary of the fighter tonight. it could be a very dramatic night. and you can listen to live commentary of the fight on bbc radio 5 live or via bbc sounds plus there will be text commentary on the bbc sport website and app. the main event is due to start

he didn't really cut anthonyjoshua off, he followed him, and that played into the hands of anthonyjoshuaands. anthonyjoshua never distance he had nice, fast hands. anthony joshua never really lost control. you know the importance of psychology in your sport, would you say a defeat like this in this stage of anthonyjoshua plus my career is a good thing for him, in terms of his long—term prospects, of lasting many years in the ring, because being pulled up short makes him realise she just can't take anything for granted and you have to treat each opponent as an individual? well, yes and no. he didn't really get caught up short. i think he made a mistake. that mistake was, if you ta ke a mistake. that mistake was, if you take the chicken out of the oven too early, it will be bad for you. we went for the kill too early. andy release wasn't ready. to made that mistake. he has learned from that. the most important thing is if you fight someone and you drop them, then they drop you three times, that it's a hard thing to get over, a ha rd it's a hard thing to get over, a hard thing to overcome.

anthonyjoshua is back in business.n the we will see that bowed. they spoke to fans yesterday after the fight and they were saying that is the fight they want to see, a unification bout. that is the pressure anthonyjoshua went in with our side. paddy blown it all the fights —— talk of a big—money fight against either would have gone out the window. his only the fourth in heavyweight history to win an immediate rematch. patterson did, lewis lennox did it, marmot ali did it. usually when you lose you need an interim fight to iron out the technical flaws and get your confidence back and get back to winning ways. he took a gamble and went straight back in there and he delivered. just very quickly, lots of questions asked of the rights and wrongs of actually holding this fight in saudi arabia. did it deliver as an event, as a spectacle? it was sold out. the atmosphere was lively, not raucous, some of the underfire is lively, not raucous, some of the under fire is the crowd were very quiet. when anthonyjoshua got in the ring

anthonyjoshua anthony joshua found himself anthonyjoshua found himself unusual situation of going throughhe challenge not the champion. he went through a light session, shadowboxing. he looked focus, not making much eye contact with the crowd except for at the beginning and at the end when hippos for photographs. he stayed for quite a while signing photographs and taking itself is long enough for andy ruiz junior to enter the ring and do his work. joshua did not look at andy ruiz work. joshua did not look at andy ruinunior as they made their way out of the public area but there was a moment right at the end when he was, said in the ring, a lingering look. he knows how important saturday night is. andy ruiz look. he knows how important saturday night is. andy ruinunior put upa saturday night is. andy ruinunior put up a bit of us went on a cool evening in saudi arabia, in front of the members of public watching the workout. he also stayed behind to sign autographs. i put into that they are making him the underdog once again and he said his mindset has not changed and we will shock the world

ade adedoyin was at the weigh—in in the saudi capital. 20 kilos heavier than anthonyjoshua but that isory he told us in the build—up to this fight that he was going to be his latest in his last nine professional fights. an indication of the strategy that he intends to employ. and ruiz announced the rematch, they wa nted and ruiz announced the rematch, they wanted him to come in later this time as well. three months to prepare it he came in over a stone heavier. you have to wonder where that extra weights to will he struggled to carry the weight in the later part of the fight. we really got sense of the big fight atmosphere. lots of travelling fans and an indication of what we can expect on saturday night. so much intrigue and build up to this fight, so many opinions but with ruiz coming in so heavy, has c effectively given anthonyjoshua the edge going into this fight? you can listen to the big fight on bbc radio 5 live, or via the bbc sounds app, where there's lots of build—up from our team in saudi arabia. the main event is due to start around 9pm uk time. meanwhile the doping charge

well, anthonyjoshua well, anthony joshua told well, anthonyjoshua told us in the build—up to the sitere time in the boxing ring working on his technique than he did in the weight room. he said he was going to come in under 17 stone, and he was true to his word. this is his lightest weight since his ninth pro fights from a much lighter than he was 25 vladimir clutch go, so may be an indication of the strategy that he claims to employee and the fights, a very chiseled. injuries, however, that was very interesting, because he took the last bite at three months notice and came in and i9 three months notice and came in and 19 stone. his trainer says he wanted him to come in later, which he had three months of time to prepare for, and yet he came in over a stone heavier. now, he might save the extra weight means that he can impose himself on anthonyjoshua, critics might argue that whether this is an indication of how well his training camp has gone. joshua looked very very relaxed afterwards, he stayed behind, taking pictures and signing autographs with the assembled fans there. our sports

anthonyjoshua to prove himself and get on top? i anthonyjoshua to prove himself and get on top? i really, really do believe that anthonyjoshua can win his belt back. it is going to be a very sticky fight, nip and tuck. i think it is going to catch fire very early on and it will test him again, especially his mental willpower. he is going to have to be switched on all the way through. he is going to have to box a clever fight and not get involved. i believe he can do it, he is a very experienced man and is determined as ever. i'm going to go with an anthonyjoshua win. charlie edwards there, a friend of anthonyjoshua. let's charlie edwards there, a friend of anthony joshua. let's have charlie edwards there, a friend of anthonyjoshua. let's have a look at the weather now. is it a stormy interesting week ahead 7 our is named storm of the season is on our way to the british isles which will be arriving to my. —— our first named storm. a lot of cloud across the uk now, and the chow the north—west wales and north—west england, northern ireland a lot of cloud, and in scotland we have go

but we will hear from both now, the first challenger, anthonyjoshua.boxing, i didn't really come to kind of take part, came to take over. i came with full force, fully committed. like the focus has always been there, but i never have the chance to reflect, you know, because it's like the european championships, world championships, british title, world title, boom, boom, boom, boom. i'm not here to put on a show. i'm just here to win. remember, i've been doing this since i was six years old. it's paying off. there is no way that i'm going to let these belts go. i'm going to die trying. i'm going to do anything that's possible to get that victory december seven. but, like i said, it's been along december seven. but, like i said, it's been a long journey come along roller coaster in my life. now that i've finally made my dreams come true, there isjust no way that i'm going to let these go. the build—up to this fight has been very different, we haven't seen a thousand of travelling fans that we did in new york, that built a brand—new stadium behind me, wh
