Anthony Joshua reclaimed his world heavyweight titles on a dramatic night in Saudi Arabia as he overcame Andy Ruiz Jr in the rematch - here's how it went down on the night followed by the reaction.

He'll be looking for a stoppage sooner rather than later. Round 2: Whyte doing more of the same but with more intent, some powerful shots to finish the round.

Wach looking a bit sorry for himself in there. Hopefully this catches light soon. Round 1: Whyte just jabbing his way into the fight.

Few ramrods to the body to kick things off. Wach not offering up much back. Good start for Whyte, who would love a win here.

Whyte has also had to put up with troubles with UK-Anti Doping, who yesterday cleared him of any alleged doping in the lead-up to his fight with Rivas.

Still raining in Riyadh! There were rumours that the fight could be postponed if the rain wouldn't let up but Eddie Hearn has dispelled those rumours.

Kevin Iole, of Yahoo Sports, first reported the news but later apologised for the incorrect information. But plenty of fans with ponchos on. Ruiz Jr had an umbrella held over his head as he walked into Diriyah Arena, while Joshua had the same treatment.

Thunder and lightning has been forecast, but it's just rain at the moment. We'll keep you all updated on any changes to the card tonight.

The champ is here! I'd have to agree with that. Not sure he was really hurt there but Price gets the stoppage he was after. Round 2: More of the same from Price in the second round.

Nice and comfortable in there, cruising to victory so far. Mohamed has nothing to offer. Round 1: The size differnce is massive here as Price knocks Swedi Mohamed's gumshield out.

Price in his second professional bout here. Good stoppage again. Fully deserved win for Hrgovic, who didn't stop from the very first bell. Another onslaught from Hrgovic, Molina goes down and the referee waves off the bout.

Round 2: Molina being bullied around the ring again here. Hrgovic so aggressive and full of intent.

Molina goes down again but troubles Hrgovic with a right hand of his own when he gets up! The Mexican takes a knee again, however, and that's the end of the round.

Molina goes down in the final moments of the round after an onslaught from Hrgovic but the referee doesn't score a knockdown. Some back-of-the-head shots from the Croat.

He lost to Deontay Wilder a few years back in the ninth round of their contest before Anthony Joshua stopped him in the third round in Hrgovic, a promising Croatian heavyweight, is a handful for anybody in the division - including Wilder and Joshua.

That was a good stoppage from Victor Loughlan. Little had no more to give and Majidov would've done some serious damage otherwise.

Majidov lands a right hand and floors Little but he gets up, takes more punishment and the referee stops it!

Majidov with the better action, pressing forward but Little has been solid and thrown a few big punches himself. Joshua weigh in at 16st 13lbs So while Joshua weigh in 10lbs lighter than he did in June, Ruiz weighed in at an enormous lbs, his heaviest weight since his second fight as a pro.

He is really an under-rated guy. His low centre of gravity works well against a big heavyweight and his hand speed is phenomenal.

His style plays to Joshua's weaknesses. I just think Joshua has lost weight. I feel he may have lost muscle and that can be detrimental.

Ruiz Jr is super confident, he punches hard, he's got really fast hands, and I think he's going to back AJ up. Joshua is slimmer now and lighter, but I'm not sure that is going to help him.

I just see the same fight happening. I think Ruiz Jr is going to get to him eventually, hurt him with a shot, and finish him.

I'm going to go for a Joshua win, because it's his to lose. Joshua got his tactics completely wrong in the first fight, let Ruiz Jr do what he does well.

Ruiz Jr has got good hand speed. He got dropped and then he threw caution to the wind and let his hands go, and that was enough for him.

If he stops him, it's a bonus. This time, he's fully prepared for the fighter who's in front of him. There's so many variables and questions that we don't know the answers to, which makes it hard to predict.

History says immediate rematches don't go well and I've just got a gut feeling it's going to be a repeat win for Ruiz Jr.

Joshua came up against Whyte and Majidov in the amateurs - losing both, before going on to taste defeat against Ruiz as a pro six months ago. AJ, however, has also beaten Whyte in the pro ranks, while he also holds wins over Povetkin and Molina.

Joshua is expected to hit the ring as the challenger at around 8. You can also purchase the event on the Sky Sports Box Office app, which can be viewed from a laptop, tablet or movie device.

Wenn Anthony Joshua und Andy Ruiz. Ein Mitglied der Herrscherdynastie lässt ihn sich zu Hause als Trophäe hinstellen. Und der "Clash on the Dunes" soll zu einer gigantischen PR-Kampagne für das Land werden, dessen Menschenrechtslage von der Organisation Amnesty International als "katastrophal" bezeichnet wird.

Der Kampf in Diriyya, einem Vorort der Hauptstadt Riad, sei eine "weitere Gelegenheit für die saudischen Herrscher, ihr stark angeschlagenes Image über den Sport reinzuwaschen", sagte Felix Jakens, Sonderbeauftragter von Amnesty UK: "Trotz einiger längst überfälliger Reformen der Frauenrechte ist Saudi-Arabien aktuell dabei, die Menschenrechte dramatisch zu unterdrücken.

Frauenrechtler, Anwälte und Mitglieder der Minderheit der Schiiten werden alle verfolgt. Wie andere Länder in der Region hat auch Saudi-Arabien seit längerer Zeit schon den Sport entdeckt, um ein möglichst positives Bild in die Welt zu senden.

Verbände und Funktionäre werden reichlich dafür belohnt, Veranstaltungen in die Wüste zu vergeben. Es sei eine "wunderbare, wunderbare Entscheidung" gewesen, das Event in Saudi-Arabien auszutragen.

Auch von Joshua und Ruiz war bisher keine Kritik zu hören - nicht einmal im Ansatz. Joshua bezeichnete Diriyya gar als "Mekka des Boxens".

Beide seien froh, den Kampf im Königreich führen zu können.
