With thousands expected to purchase the pay-per-view event to watch in the UK, here’s how you can get a slice of the action without paying a penny.
How can I watch Joshua vs Ruiz undercard for free?
THERE’s a packed supporting cast ready to entertain you before the main event on Saturday night.
If you’re looking for a taster of the action before committing to the £24.95 fee, Mahammadrasul Majidov vs Tom Little is being shown live on Sky Sports Boxing’s Facebook and YouTube pages from 4pm.
Little – known as ‘Not So’ – has sparred with Joshua in preparation for his world title showdown with the Mexican in Saudi Arabia.
He’s looking to go 10-8 and is fighting outside of Britain for just the second time.
Little is no stranger to a testing fight but suffered TKO defeats against fellow Brit heavyweights David Price and Daniel Dubois – and may have to shake off some ring-rust after 12 months out the game.
The remainder of the undercard is part of the pay-per-view package and can only be viewed by fight fans who have purchased the event.
Filip Hrgovic faces Eric Molina next in a WBC international bout, with the heavyweight theme continuing throughout the night.
The card itself isn’t loaded as perhaps some expected, but the talent is certainly there.
Dillian Whyte is set to make his long-awaited comeback to the ring against giant Mariusz Wach for the WBC interim title, whilst the chief support is Alexander Povetkin’s war with Michael Hunter.
Coverage of the undercard will start on Sky Sports Box Office at 5pm, with the programme running all the way through to midnight.
