Eight Edinburgh bars you can watch Anthony Joshua v Andy Ruiz 2 in this weekend

It's the rematch we've all been waiting for.

Andy Ruiz Jr and Anthony Joshua will go toe-to-toe in the ring on Saturday night for the second time this year in a massive heavyweight world title fight.

And while the huge sporting event might be taking place across the other side of the world, in a 15,000-seat purpose built arena in Saudi Arabia, it's sure to grab the attention of fight fans much closer to home.

Ruiz shocked the boxing world when, as a late stand-in, he won the first fight – catching Joshua cold and defeating him back in June.

With this weekend's ring-walk expected around 9pm the rematch is on at a prime time for those planning a Saturday evening out – so here are eight Edinburgh venues who say they'll be screening all the action as it happens.
