Anthony Joshua is not taking this fight lightly and knows that Ruiz is just as dangerous as Wilder or Fury because of his skill set. He is not overlooking Andy one bit, respect is the number one thing in this sport if you start looking to your next challenge that can always be taken away at any moment. Both these fighter respect one another and for Ruiz to come in and sign his name on the dotted line, that gives Joshua even more respect for Andy.
Josuha is the champ right now and tonight is the night when he puts all his belts up in the air and says “Let the best man win”. Ruiz has been waiting for this day all his life, training hard since his last fight against Alexander Dimitrenko. He is looking to become the first Mexican heavyweight champion of the world.
Ruiz has respect for the champ but inside the ring, it will be a different story, no friends, no respect, no fanboy. Even though Ruiz doesn’t look the part, don’t look past him says Freddie Roach, who trained him for seven years. The oddsmakers are heavy on Joshua but this will be a must-see event with all the belts being up for grabs, so don’t miss the action and watch it right here.
