Reasons why it could easily be next: 1. Big payday for Fury (Ruiz is well-known and regarded in Mexico, The U.S. and Britain), late sub Ruiz will take a 20% split and he's already expressed interest in the fight 2. The biggest mismatch in the top 10: minimal risk, minimal wear and future opponents learn nothing 3. Title defence against a former unified heavyweight champion, the first Mexican heavyweight champion (architect of one of the biggest upsets in boxing history) and AJ's first conqueror, who is 6th ranked by Ring and hasn't lost since 2019 4. Ruiz has never been battered or stopped, providing Fury with the opportunity and motivation to further upstage, devalue and demoralise Joshua 5. Fury would enjoy stealing the fight from Wilder and would be happy to give Andy a nice payday
