Tyson Fury has praised Anthony Joshua for taking his rematch with Andy Ruiz JR to Saudi Arabia.
The heavyweight world title clash is due to take place near Riyadh on December 7 amid much controversy.
"I think it's a good move because I remember Emanuel Steward talking about travelling around the world and fighting in different countries and it's how you become an international superstar," Fury told Sirius XM.
"Muhammad Ali boxed in Manila, he boxed in Zaire, Africa; he boxed quite a few places around the world and that’s how you become a global phenomenon, by keeping boxing in different countries. But Saudi Arabia, they must be paying a lot of money that's all I can say."
