    It would be the first time no championship was on the line between them - just pride, and trilogy victor bragging rights.

    No.

    And there is no "bad blood", Andy was a happy, grinning, well-fed man after that fight.

    If he's going to fight someone he's fought before, it may as well be Parker.

    This fight kind of makes sense for some reason.

    They both need a place to go. If no Fury or Wilder, why not?

    They both were in their peak when they fought each other and then their career went downhill somewhere.

    Would be fun to watch on co-main event.

    I actually have this perverse curiosity to want to see Tubby Andy blasting Joshua again.

    They are going to present a walkover opponent anyways for joshua from what people seem to say.

    So why not ruiz? Don't care much at this point. Give Joshua an opponent that is not a 5-1 underdog at least.

    Andy must be broke or close to it. Be nice to see what they each have left at this point.

    It's an okay fight.
    Ruiz has been calling for a third fight since he blew it in the rematch in December 2019.

    Best of 3 for the conclusion.

    AJ and Fury should fight. That would still be a huge event.

    It's in the plan for next year, Ridyah but likely at Wembley...but if Fury can get the same money for a belt or Usyk he'll take that option which won't happen

    Ruiz is much more faded than AJ. The proper fight for Ruiz would be Wilder.

    And if Ruiz needs cash, you'd think Ituama's team would be very interested. Former HW champ, good chin so will probably last more than 1 round, quite unlikely to win.

    I dont care. AJ got knocked out of contention, ruiz is irrelevant. So.why not i guess

    I think I'd rather see Joshua vs Itauma or another young gun
