Andy Ruiz: record, next fight and profile →
By Keith Idec - NEW YORK – Anthony Joshua spent more time Thursday discussing the fight that won’t happen anytime soon than the opponent that’ll challenge him Saturday night. That wasn’t necessarily Joshua’s fault. All anyone wanted to ask the unbeaten British heavyweight champion about before and after a...
NEW YORK – Anthony Joshua seemed surprised Thursday that Deontay Wilder hasn’t drawn more criticism for announcing Tuesday night that his next fight will be a rematch with Luis Ortiz. Joshua had hoped to revisit negotiations for a long-discussed heavyweight showdown with Wilder after his fight against Andy Ruiz Jr. on Saturday night at Madison Square Garden. The British superstar wondered aloud before a press conference Thursday at The Beacon Theater what fan reaction would’ve been if he had disclosed this week that he’s planning to face Alexander Povetkin again in his next fight.
Anthony Joshua has claimed Andy Ruiz is as dangerous as both Deontay Wilder and Tyson Fury, as he prepares to face the Mexican-American at Madison Square Garden. WBA, IBF, IBO and WBO champion Joshua was originally set to face Jarrell Miller in a heavyweight showdown in New York City on June 1, but that bout was scrapped after Miller failed drugs tests.

NEW YORK – If Luis Ortiz upsets Deontay Wilder in their rematch, it’ll cost Anthony Joshua plenty of money. Joshua-Wilder is the biggest boxing match that can be made among active fighters and represents the largest potential payday for Joshua. The British superstar still wouldn’t be terribly disappointed if Ortiz knocks off Wilder when they fight again sometime in September
Former two division champion David Haye is not giving Andy Ruiz a real shot of pulling off any type of upset on Saturday night. Ruiz will challenge WBO, WBA, IBF, IBO heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua at Madison Square Garden in New York City.
Andy Ruiz admits that he's motivated by the success of WBC, WBA, IBF middleweight champion Saul "Canelo" Alvarez. Ruiz, who was ringside for Canelo's recent twelve round decision win over Danie Jacobs earlier this month, wants to achieve the same type of accomplishment as his countryman.
By Cliff Rold - This week, what looked likely became nearly concrete. WBC heavyweight titlist Deontay Wilder (41-0-1, 40 KO) won’t be across the ring from Anthony Joshua or Tyson Fury in his next outing and that may take him through the rest of the year. Speculation has been that Wilder is following a course of fights f...
Andy Ruiz, who last month battered and stopped Alexander Dimitrenko, still feels strongly that he was robbed on the scorecards back in December of 2017, when he lost a twelve round decision to Joseph Parker - when they collided for the vacant WBO world title.
Eddie Hearn, promoter for IBF, IBO, WBA, WBO heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua, is worried more and more as the days continue to pass for the scheduled clash with Andy Ruiz. Joshua will defend his belts against Ruiz on June 1, at Madison Square Garden in New York City. The fight will be the American debut for Joshua.
