Mexican heavyweight Andy Ruiz claims to know how to beat the WBA, WBO and IBF world champion in his Ukrainian weight class Oleksandr Usyk.
According to Andy, he has no doubt that he will soon share the ring with Alexander, and it is for this reason that he chose Cuban Luis Ortiz as his rival.
“Usyk is an excellent fighter with great skill. He is a worthy champion. He had an amazing fight with Joshua and that is why we chose Luis Ortiz as our opponent, because he is left-handed.
Luis is the first southpaw boxer of my career, but I've also sparred a lot with amateurs. I know that I can adapt to any style and you will see it.
To defeat Usyk, you need to show this Mexican style. You have to go ahead and just throw combinations. Not to be afraid of. If you get hurt or shocked, you still need to go forward, push and push.
I think that's exactly what Anthony Joshua needed. He needed this Mexican style and pressure, especially since he is much larger than Usyk. I take my hat off to Alexander. I knew he would win,” Ruiz said in an interview with Fight Hub TV.
Recall that Ruiz and Ortiz will fight on September 4 in Los Angeles, USA.
