Joshua v Ruiz Press conference

It’s Fanta Punch, bud. He got banned for trolling a few weeks back.

 

Yep and even if he wins he has Fury and Wilder both waitiing for showdowns, honestly to me feels like the walls are closing in on AJ tbh.

 

I was half expecting the floor to slide open under Ruiz’s feet sending him down into a pit like Return of the Jedi in Jabba the Huts place.

Ruiz just looked the same to me. He’ll probably come in at about 19 stone again.

 

Absolutely. I think Wilder sparks AJ early and he doesn't land a glove on Fury. Two awful fights for him IMO.

 

Rowdy in Saudi...

Has more of a ring to it than 'Clash on the Dunes'!

Hi Frank. Welcome to the forum.

Brilliant

 

I don't think either Fury or Wilder are waiting for showdowns with AJ. Both in the past year turned down career high purses to fights for AJ (in Wilders case in several times more what he earned in entire career).

 

Agreed. Win, lose or draw I don’t see AJ having any more than another 5 fights in his career. He’s a great athlete but sounding more and more like a businessman/entrepreneur now.

 

As a good businessman or entrepreneur he should realise that the most money he can make in one night is from boxing.

 

Really cringey to see the three of them (including Hearn) doing the Islamic index finger raised gesture at the face off. I wonder what other little things they’ll have to do as part of doing the fight there?

 

I think there are plenty of fights out there for AJ even if he loses the rematch. AJ could fight Whyte and if he is able to beat Whyte again he will become WBC mandatory and finally force Wilder to fight him.

 

There’s plenty of fights out there but I just don’t think that deep down AJ really fancies it. With him, Fury and Wilder all fighting just twice a year, five more fights each will close out 2021. With unforeseen injuries and stalled negotiations most like we’ll looking at 2022. They potentially will have made each other very rich and possibly ended each other’s careers by then. Wilder will be pushing 36, Fury 33 (but looking 53) and AJ just 31. Potentially AJ could just fight Ruiz, Wilder, Fury and Usyk and leave the game close to being a billionaire.

 

If you kick off there mate, they will swear you smelled of alcohol and sentence you to chief support on the undercard, where you will absolutely have your head took off!!!
