    After his darkest day in boxing, Anthony Joshua must rise again.

    As the IBF, WBA and WBO champion was sent sprawling at New York's iconic Madison Square Garden in June, so were the belts he had spent a career fighting for.

    Andy Ruiz Jr, the relative unknown who stunned the world in the Big Apple, was there to scoop them up.

    Now Joshua must seek to reclaim his world heavyweight titles as he meets the Mexican in Saudi Arabia.

    Clash on the Dunes, Rumble in Riyadh, Duel in the Desert, however you dress it up, this could be make or break for the 30-year-old Briton.

    And it's coming right up...
