Andy Ruiz is so confident that he will win
the rematch with Anthony Joshua that he
is already lining up big name opponents
for after his second bout with the Brit.
The Destroyer is now the WBA, WBO, IBF
and IBO heavyweight champion after his
shock seventh round stoppage of AJ at
Madison Square Garden.
However, he has no intention of stopping
there as his team are aiming at another
victory over Joshua before picking up
Deontay Wilder’s WBC strap to complete
the heavyweight collection.
Andres Ruiz, the champion’s father,
believes winning the remaining title is the
priority, but is so confident that his son
will beat Joshua again, that a rematch is
the best choice.
‘It’s best for Andy, and I do not have the
slightest doubt of him winning,’ Ruiz Sr
said, via Boxing Scene . ‘For this fight we
had little preparation time, because we
came in as a replacement, but with more
time to prepare we will arrive much better.
‘Many can say that they will win, but it is
like a snake, you hypnotize them and they
do not know what to do in the ring, so
[Andy] has beaten everyone and will
continue to do so.
‘In addition to Joshua, there are many
opponents for him. There is Wilder and
also there is Tyson Fury, a fight with him
would also interest us. As I said, the main
objective is to conquer all the titles and we
only need one more.
‘We already won three belts that night in a
fight where nobody had faith in us, only
those of us who were part of the team
knew that we could win, we always had
confidence in taking the titles.
‘Now we want Wilder’s, we’re going to
destroy him, you’re going to see. We just
need that one.’

That's a good ambition
