Stop asking questions about A Side Andy and why he has to do what A.J. says.
“Could he pull out and retire and never fight again? Of course he can,” said Hearn to Boxing Social about Ruiz not having to take the rematch with Joshua if he doesn’t want to if he’s choosing to retire. “You cannot make a guy fight, but he can’t have another fight. If anybody tries to give him another fight, they’re also in deep problems, because they’re potentially affecting a breach of the contract.
There’s been no discussion with his team about him potentially not fighting. Al Haymon, Tom Brown, they know their position in this fight. And by the way, he’s [Ruiz] making a lot of money for this rematch, and by the way, he probably thinks he can win. So I have no problem that they have questions, because I think that’s a lot of not naivety on their part, but a lot of naivety from people who don’t realize the infrastructure for events in Saudi,” said Hearn.
“The first contract takes care of all the venue, and the information in terms of the travel details,” said Hearn. “There is no new contract. His team and I have been in discussion almost since the other fight took place. I confirmed where the fight would take place. They expressed that Andy didn’t want the fight to take place in the UK. They didn’t have a say, but we decided to give it to them in neutral territory, which they’re very happy about. Yes, he has some questions that will be answered, but he’s already signed for the rematch. The first contract takes care of all the venues, and information in terms of decisions. There is no new contract. We’ve followed the original contract, which we decide where the fight takes place,” said Hearn.
