As far as backup plans go, Eddie Hearn couldn’t be more pleased with this weekend’s headlining act. The veteran promoter from England has for months applied the finishing touches on the long awaited United States debut of unbeaten heavyweight titlist Anthony Joshua. The moment arrives this Saturday at New York City’s famed Madison Square Garden, but with a different name on the other side of the marquee than at the start of the promotion as he takes on California’s Andy Ruiz whom accepted the fight on roughly five weeks’ notice.
Dillian Whyte believes he is closing the gap to Anthony Joshua and would produce a much-improved performance were he to have a rematch with the world heavyweight champion. Whyte is the number one contender for Deontay Wilder's WBC title, the only belt in the top weight class not held by Joshua, who faces Andy Ruiz in his American debut on June 1.
Anthony Joshua heads into this weekend’s title fight versus Andy Ruiz widely regarded as the best heavyweight in the world, and in a bout which marks his long-awaited debut in the United States. Yet the only questions the media seem to have for him are the same as for his unbeaten divisional peers Deontay Wilder and Tyson Fury—when we will see him in fights with the other two.
