Wladimir Klitschko says Anthony Joshua should never have lost to Andy Ruiz Jr."We've just called on them to show some awareness and speak out about the human-rights situation that is, after all, very likely the underlying reason for the fight taking place in Saudi Arabia in the first place."

"We've never said that Joshua or Ruiz should refuse to fight in Riyadh," Jakens added. "This is an attempt at 'sportswashing' - an effort to 'reposition' the very damaged Saudi brand though the reflected glamour, excitement, and prestige of top-tier sport." These include Loujain al-Hathloul, Samar Badawi, and Nassima al-Sada. "And a number of the very brave women activists who campaigned - at some considerable risk - for the right to drive have, for their pains, been arrested and charged in relation to their human-rights work. There is no prohibition against marital or statutory rape, and rape victims are frequently charged with adultery. If they've been sent to prison, they still need their guardian's permission to be even be released. "Women still require a male guardian's approval to marry. "But there's still fundamental discrimination against women in the country," he said. He added that Hearn was right to say the country allowed women to drive without fear of arrest and that there's an easing of its "guardianship system," meaning women over 21 could travel without the permission of a man. This is an attempt at 'sportswashing' - an effort to 'reposition' the very damaged Saudi brand though the prestige of top-tier sport. I can't go to my client and go, 'Right, you could make life-changing money, generational wealth, but I'm uncomfortable and don't think you should do it.' They'd go, 'F- you, I'm going.'" So why not go to one of those venues? "For much less money, therefore not providing opportunity for my client?" Hearn said. Perhaps, even, a neutral venue in a country that does not, in Amnesty's words, flog journalists, punish young pro-democracy protesters with death, and hold public beheadings. It is a fight that would have most likely sold out Wembley Arena in London or the Garden. Interest in the Ruiz-Joshua rematch is massive, as it will be either a case of repeat for Ruiz, who won the June fight in style, or revenge for Joshua, who will be seeking to reverse the earlier result and get his career back on track. Do you think fighters who are taking part in a sport where they could potentially lose their life are particularly conscious of a current-affairs issue of the country they are boxing in? With all due respect, if you think they should even consider that, then I think you're a plonker." My job is to provide opportunities to my fighters.
