The undercard fighters for Saturday night like Dillian Whyte and Tom Little were also in attendance at the pre-fight gala.

While boxers are often very comparative during press runs that lead up to the fights, Ruiz and Joshua have been more cordial and respectful to each other.

But all the cordiality will be shredded when they step in the ring for the heavily anticipated re-match.

Ruiz Jr in June shocked the boxing world with a seventh-round knockout win over Joshua to become the IBF, WBO and WBA champion.
