The minutes are counting down until the year's last huge heavyweight showdown, and it almost feels like AJ's entire career is at stake. His rematch against Andy Ruiz Jr tonight follows a defeat that shocked the world back in June. And we're almost ready to see the two warriors do battle once again.

Will the British fighter get revenge and reclaim his WBA, IBF and WBO world titles or can Ruiz Jr show the world his title win was no fluke? Don't miss a punch - no matter where in the world you are - by reading our Ruiz vs Joshua 2 live stream guide.

Former Olympic champ Joshua had been making his US debut in the last encounter with Ruiz - and some may argue that the occasion at Madison Square Gardens got the better of him. Either way, it was a humbling defeat which saw the Watford-born boxer completely outfought by the unfancied challenger who laid him out on the canvas four times before the fight was eventually stopped in the seventh round.

Ruiz Jr's doughy appearance was the butt of many a joke ahead of the first fight - but the Mexican fighter threw the barbs back in his critics faces with a masterclass in jabbing and lightning hand speed. Intriguingly Ruiz appears to have shed weight in the run up to this rematch, suggesting a change in tactics for the champ.

Joshua will also likely adopt a different approach this time out, and will need to make his physical advantages in height (four inches) and reach (eight) count far more this time out. Joshua is set to bag the biggest ever pay day for a British boxer, with the 30-year-old set to pocket a staggering £66 million for Saturday's fight, but a defeat in Saudi Arabia will come at a bigger cost for the Brit as it will likely cost him his status as a top-tier heavyweight.

It's a rematch no fight fan will want to miss, with an impressive undercard to match that features Dillian Whyte facing Mariusz Wach and Alexander Povetkin colliding with Michael Hunter on the same bill. Read on to see how to get a Ruiz vs Joshua live stream.
