Heavyweight contender Dominic Breazeale is looking to return in the biggest fight possible, and views unified world champion Andy Ruiz as a good opponent to return against.

Both fighters are advised by Al Haymon and fight under the Premier Boxing Champions banner.

Last year, Breazeale suffered a brutal first round knockout at the hands of then WBC world champion Deontay Wilder. Also last year, Ruiz was outboxed over twelve rounds by Anthony Joshua in their high profile rematch Saudi Arabia.

Breazeale believes a fight with Ruiz would a very good matchup of styles for the fans.

"I think it would be a good fit for me, I think it would be a good fit for boxing," Breazeale told Sky Sports, when asked about a potential fight with Ruiz Jr. That's the fight that fans want to see, me and Andy Ruiz. I'd love to be able to get that rocking and rolling.

"Joshua made the adjustments and did what he was supposed to do as the bigger athlete in the ring, boxing his way to winning the titles back. You get a big guy that can use his jab and move around the ring the way that Joshua was doing, a guy in Ruiz's situation doesn't stand a chance.

"That's the same game-plan that I would be taking into the approach of fighting Andy Ruiz, although I'm a fan-pleasing fighter and I'm probably going to go for the knockout at one point."

Breazeale, ever since his knockout loss at the hands of Joshua in 2016, and has been gunning for a rematch with the British superstar.

And he believes a knockout of Ruiz would significantly strengthen his stance for a Joshua rematch.

"We like to throw leather and we like to throw it with bad intentions," said Breazeale.

"Sometimes we're not going to hold back on risk-taking, so when you get a guy like myself and Andy Ruiz in the ring, you're definitely going to see some fireworks. Every time I get in the ring, I'm looking to stop the fight and change the stats, so I would take great glory in giving Andy Ruiz his first professional stoppage."
