    Please do not encourage him to do this to us.

    I mean this sincerely.

    Joshua didn't deserve a rematch so on that basis yes he does.

    Wilder gets a rematch after an to being totally dominated. AG had a bad night but went in looking for the ok and fully under estimated Ruiz's speed and power on the inside, was a sloppy mistake and he payed for it. Ruiz has his movement and weight issues but he showed some decent skills to win that first fight inside he has fast hands.

    As I a boxing fan I'm bored of rematch after rematch there are a lot of good fights all this contractual rematch bull is holding up now getting past a joke

    No. Beat Ruiz clearly in the second fight.

    If (and its a big if) AJ beats Usyk he has a chance to unify against the winner of the Fury vs Wilder (if they don't duck him again). Then mandatory will likely be called against good opposition in Hrgovic (IBF), Hunter (I think is the WBA mandatory) and Whyte (if AJ wins the WBC and WBC stop screwing over Whyte).

    This all day.

    Joshua knows how to beat Ruiz. There's plenty of other fights to make for Joshua. Do people really want to watch a repeat of the second fight.

    Nope. But i wouldn't mind an eventual third bout. Ruiz needs to work himself back up.
