The 30-year-old fighter has played songs by Stormzy, Giggs, Burna Boy and more for his past ring walk songs, but who will he choose for his Dubai fight with Ruiz on 7th December?
Anthony Joshua is gearing up to fight Andy Ruiz once again following his defeat back in June, and fans have long been wondering what he was going to choose as his ring walk song.
