Casanova and producer Jingle Jared have done just that. The pair teamed up with DAZN to create an original anthem for DAZN’s ‘40 Days: Joshua-Ruiz’ — a behind-the-scenes series documenting the final weeks leading up to the heavyweight title fight between unified world heavyweight champion Joshua and Andy Ruiz Jr. on June 1 at Madison Square Garden.

The track is titled “Forged in Steel” and serves as the opening theme song for the show.
“Professional sports is a big passion point when it comes to Jingle Punks,” Jingle Jared, President of Jingle Punks, said. “DAZN has presented us a huge opportunity to create our song ‘Forged In Steel.’ Casanova is one of the realest artists out there at the moment, so I was immediately excited to collaborate.”
Produced by rapper Meek Mill and Roc Nation, ‘40 Days’ is a three-part series with its final episode debuting May 29. NBC Sports will premiere a special final edition of “40 Days” on June 1st.
Joshua (22-0, 21 KOs) will put his WBA (Super), IBF and WBO championship belts on the line for the first time since his September victory over Alexander Povetkin by way of seventh-round TKO.
Ruiz (32-1, 21 KOs) will be fighting just barely a month since defeating Alexander Dimitrenko by way of a corner stoppage between the fifth and sixth rounds.
