Sounds like 'no more losing' won't last long if that's the plan. From the third round Helenis was there to be taken , lazy jab , slow right hand and completely up right .It took Joshua seven rounds to put this old guy out of there. Wilder will brutally derail any split in parity to fight Fury. Joshua has only a very slim chance to land before Wilder's fast and destructive fists show where Joshua is really at.Derick couldn't help Spence and he won't be able to help Joshua .Wilder within four.

Ruiz is that guy fans and only hard core fans will talk of…..Wilder vs Joshua breaks records ..what are you talking about buses ? Man Ruiz,Ortiz and maybe Wallin will not even be remembered this era and are one hit wonders only hard core guys remember.

Let me tell you something that bus ran over Ruiz he’s done and so is Ortiz the bus killed them in the desert somewhere by their own suicide of choice killing their own careers .

Ruiz needs to look at himself , his only real claim to fame was brutalising Joshua and then coming for the rematch obese.Demanding the rumoured 20m to fight Fury or the like is not going to work coming off the deck against Arreola .If he'd have fought and beat Wilder that would have put him in that bracket .He's unfortunately just another lazy heavyweight living off what is becoming a faded name.

Maybe. But the WBC called for the fight but have not set a timeframe for it. Why not just go to purse bids?

WBC ordered the Wilder-Ruiz fight to become mandatory for Fury. All aboard!!!

Who gives a f.uck about Ruiz. he is one of these heavyweights that wouldn`t fight Hrgovic, because he is not " a big enough name". Ok, Ruiz is not a big enough name for Wilder, because Wilder has a bigger fight in Joshua. So it goes.

Nice right hand ko, but Helenius would be ko'd by many now.

Joshua looks like a shot fighter, no match for Wilder and Fury, and a few others.

"Next few days" people really believe all the s*** he tells them. For months it was December. Recently it's moved to Jan. "Done deal as long as we win Aug 12" now every week he'll keep making excuses why its not done yet.

I don't think AJ even wants it. In post fight he said he'll fight him.

But a lot of post fught interviews he wasn't even saying Wilder.

"2 more fights this year" why are you asking for 2 more fights unless your not confident of beating Wilder. Also we all know he aint even fighting 1 more time this year never mind 2

another interviewer when he was asked is Wilder next. AJ replied "well that is the media spin" doesn't sound like someone who wants to fight Wilder next or thinks a deal is close like his promoter claims

It was a good KO for his confidence but lets not make it out to be more than it is. Washington Duahapas Wilder did basically the same to Helenius.

Seeing a lot of people also claim he still needs 1 more fight before Wilder. Wilder has 1 fight Helenius in 2 years. Yet AJ who has had 3 and 2 wins inc Helenius in 2 years is the one who needs another fight?
