Jose Mourinho had he not been appointed manager of Tottenham Hotspur late last month , Jose Mourinho would most likely be in Saudi Arabia this weekend , taking in a bit of history.
The Spurs manager, a boxing fan, said on Friday that he was given a special invitation to attend “ Clash on the Dunes ” in Diriyah on Saturday night , when Andy Ruiz Jr and Anthony Joshua go head – to -head in their world heavyweight title rematch.
Joshua will attempt to reclaim the WBA , IBF and WBO belts he lost in a shock defeat to Ruiz in New York on June 1 – labelled one of the greatest shocks in boxing history.

Mourinho suffered his first defeat as Tottenham manager on Wednesday , losing 2 – 1 to former employers Manchester United .

I was invited by the Prince to be there , but I prefer to be in the match against Burnley. ”
Pushed as to whether he expected a Joshua victory , Mourinho replied, “ I’ m not an expert .
I just love the sport .
I like Anthony very much because he ’ s a great kid and I hope he wins.
But in sport you can lose . So let’ s see . ”
