Mexican powerhouse and upset king Andy Ruiz Jr will be fighting in Saudi Arabia against former world heavyweight titlist Anthony Joshua for the IBF, WBO, WBA and IBO world heavyweight title on the 7th December 2019, however Joshua will be working hard and won’t be resting that much until he is 100% certain he is going to win back his titles, however what happens if Anthony Joshua doesn’t get his titles back? What happens if Ruiz wins again and retains his titles?
Andy Ruiz Jr is a one of a kind boxer, even Joshua’s dad called it, he said that he is known as the upset king when he wrote a list of all the fighters he could face on June 1st instead of Miller. We all know what Joshua wants, he wants to become the undisputed champion of the world and fight one man in particular… Wilder! Andy Ruiz Jr on the other hand, has become the first Mexican heavyweight champion and has got the opportunity to fight some great fighters. Some that even Joshua right now would love to fight but may need to wait if he does lose this contest.
One option for Ruiz is Wilder, once Wilder has fought Fury, Ortiz and maybe Whyte, Ruiz may want a chance at Wilder WBC world heavyweight championship since that is the last piece of the puzzle. He could become the undisputed champion of the world before Anthony Joshua will be, in an interview with the WBC heavyweight champion Wilder, both Wilder and Ruiz both said that they would like to fight each to finally unify the division.
Second option could be to fight Tyson Fury, the lineal champion! This fight maybe inevitable because Fury wants to win back what he never lost, he never lost his titles, and he hasn’t lost a bout. He left for a few years due to him having an alcohol problem, however he managed to beat that and come back to the ring with no issues and looked the same as he always has done. This could be an amazing contest and could be one for the best fight of the year.
These are the two options he could go down; he may not pick to fight any of these two fighters but these fighters will be on their list to fight since now he is one of the best heavyweight in the division after beating Anthony Joshua. Who do you think he should fight next?
