I have no issues with Joshua forcing Ruiz to come to the UK. Ruiz won the title on American soil, so that seems fair to me. My issue is that I don't think Joshua should have gone directly to the rematch, but from Matchroom's pov there was no other option.
Well, Joshua, by "forgetting" his desire to fight Ruiz in America again ("That’s where it went wrong, so maybe that’s where I should put it right", blah-blah-blah: https://metro.co.uk/2019/06/07/anth...andy-ruiz-america-claims-eddie-hearn-9871364/) is proving that he's a weak champion. But, again, as I said, one fight in the US and one fight in the UK is not too unfair. I just hope there will be VADA testing for this fight.
If it's in the UK then it will be Cardiff in December, Hearn keeps leaning towards the UK so it looks like it. And if Ruiz refuses to turn up then he'll probably be stripped and also taken to court, they signed a contract, like it or not you have to honour contracts unless something major happens, you can't just say "well we don't like the idea now" They agreed to it, but they do have a choice, they will ruin all that hard work and ruin Ruiz' reputation, I personally believe they could fight in AJ's backyard with AJ's family members as judges and Hearn as referee and Ruiz still beats him, so I think they are playing games, messing with Hearn and AJ. Also I think they are just trying to rinse Hearn for more money, that's all, Hearn throws a couple more million their way to keep things calm and without problems.
I don't buy into all this Joshua needs a couple of warm up fights first, Ruiz smashes any version of Joshua, even if AJ got juiced up then Andy still beats the robot.
Nonsense, they'll score all the rounds 10-8 that Ruiz knocks Joshua down in but 10-2 even if those 2 rounds are 10-8 scores wont win him the rematch
