    if AJ edges a win through a dodgy decision or the ref interferes and spoils Ruiz's work, then yes a third fight should happen

    If it's an emphatic victory then no, there would be no point in a third fight

    if AJ wins...and he could....doubt seriously if he and his team will want to ever see Ruiz again.

    Hell no!
    Im so sick of guys fighting each other back to back to back.
    If they want to fight each again down the line thats fine,but there's no need for these guys to hold their careers up for 2 years just fighting each other.

    We all want AJ vs Wilder, or even vs Fury. And Ruiz would be well served to rid us all of this Usyk hype show

    There will be not a third match.
    Established in the contract signed by the two fighters.

    If AJ wants to win he has to fight the way Lewis did against Tua...keephis height & keep his chin/head up
    & stick & move ...Still think Ruiz takes it again...as AJ is no Lewis!

    I doubt it right away, maybe sometime in the future if they both continue to do well.

    If Joshua does win, would like to see him fight a top fighter he has not fought before, even Pulev.

    I'd imagine the contract didn't have a Ruiz loss rematch clause..

    If AJ win I'd imagine he would be looking again at Wilder Fury winner for all the blets..

    Ruiz would just have to get in the line. Fair enough too he bring nothing important to the table..

    Figures they'd not have a rematch clause in this contract and have the fight in Saudi Arabia. I guess Ruiz is confident he'll do a repeat on Joshua and doesn't want a third fight while they strip him of title belts for not fighting mandatory opponents...
