I had no idea there was this much flexibility when it came to rings:
"Eddie Hearn ensured Joshua had every advantage, from the 22ft ring size (up from 18ft in June) to the referee assignment"

that's a massive change (and surely to AJ's advantage, given he spent the whole fight trying to avoid any close-quarters encounters).
I'm really surprised there isn't more of a standard for big fights, at least. Gives quite a head start to whichever side gets to choose the ring for a fight.
