Andy Ruiz vs. Joshua rumored for June 1st

[Motorcity Cobra]

Last week Hearn said they'd announce Joshua's opponent today. So far no announcement. But now there are rumors Ruiz has entered the fold. Since the announcement has been delayed this seems possible

June 1st we ready. I’m coming for those belts. That WBO belt belongs to me. Everyone knows I beat Parker pic.twitter.com/hes1LPDXf5

From his IG post Ruiz makes it sound like he's already signed his part and he's telling Joshua to sign his part.

@anthony_joshua I’m your opponent for June 1st. I’m here I’m ready. Sign your portion. It’s been a long time coming. We shoulda met few years ago when I fought for the WBO belt. Styles make fights I know my style is one that you haven’t met before. That WBO belt is actually mine because the whole world knows I beat Parker for it in New Zealand. I’ve been waiting a long time to get these straps from you. U can hold them for me until June 1st. To anybody counting me out already get in line I’ve been counted out since I first started fighting. Nothing is stopping me now��. ����vs ���� eddiehearn premierboxing

Hes fighting Hunter, its why Matchroom announced last week theyd signed him, but no announcement for a fight on the Usyk card as expected

[Rip Chudd]

Well, he's about as fat as Miller. So there's that

Ruiz is a good opponent but i'm still 95% sure its going to be Michael Hunter.

I'm hoping it's Hunter. I like that fight.

[REDEEMER]

Style wise it's much easier fight for AJ, easy work . A short counter puncher with limited do It work.

It is a more exciting fight then Hunter though.

[DuckAdonis]

That's acceptable....

Casuals going to be thinking 'who is this fat fu#king midget' tho. Atleast Hunter looks the part

[Mammoth]

Style wise it makes sense. They were previously training for a volume puncher.

[Eff Pandas]

Ugh. I'm not excited about Ruiz or Hunter. The Ortiz fight seemed the most appealing to me & the one I was rooting on.

For his US debut Ruiz or Hunter are bs fights to make all around except to Ruiz or Hunter. The people know Ortiz from the Wilder fight to some degree. Thats the US debut that made the most sense.

Joke fight if it happens. AJ will slaughter the fat ****
