Tyson Fury makes bold Anthony Joshua vs Andy Ruiz Jr rematch prediction

Tyson Fury expects Andy Ruiz Jr to beat Anthony Joshua when they meet again this winter.

Joshua was dethroned as heavyweight world champion when he was stopped in the seventh round at Madison Square Garden.

He immediately triggered the rematch clause with the second installment set to take place in November or December, likely at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff.

But Fury believes it will be a case of repeat rather than revenge.

Fury also claimed he knew as soon as he saw Joshua walk to the ring that his fellow Brit would lose.

Joshua looked unsure of himself once he clambered through the ropes, and throughout the fight.

"I looked at Joshua and I seen that he didn't want to be in the ring on the night. He was looking away he had other things on his mind," he added.

"From round one I could see what was going to happen. I looked at Joshua and he didn't have no water, no sweat on him and I thought this guys is going to get knocked out."

Fury takes on Schwarz at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas in his first fight since his controversial draw with Deontay Wilder last December.

Victory should see him earn a second shot at the American world champion with their rematch pencilled in for spring next year.

They were originally due to meet again last month but Fury pulled out of the negotiations to sign a five-fight, £80million deal with US broadcaster ESPN.
