“It makes me want to cry,” claims Andy Ruiz Jr (35-2, 22 KOs), recalling the poor preparation, or rather the lack thereof, for the rematch with Anthony Joshua (26-3, 22 KOs) in 2019. ...

Today, Destroyer would like to complete the trilogy with Joshua, although he also aims to Alexandra Usika (21-0, 14 KOs) and Tyson Fury (33-0-1, 24 KOs).

“I would like to fight Usyk, Fury or Joshua. With the latter it would have been a trilogy. I did everything wrong before the rematch. I just didn't prepare for the second fight. Then he should have knocked me out, to be honest, I don’t know how I survived those twelve rounds. But I’ve learned my lesson and if I get my world title back, I’ll do everything right and I’ll be champion for a lot longer,” Ruiz Jr. said.
