Anthony Joshua should throw down with Tyson Fury on home soil, according to someone who has waged war twice with AJ. The combatant in question is Andy Ruiz, who became Mexico’s first-ever heavyweight champ by besting Joshua before dropping the unified crown to AJ in a rematch. Ruiz touched upon a lot of the public discourse surrounding the Fury and AJ negotiation, while appearing at BKB Tijuana on September 19th.
Andy Ruiz espoused his thoughts on this topic while on hand at BKB 59 for the company’s historic first-ever card in Mexico. When offering up his own viewpoint regarding the Fury vs. Joshua hurdles in terms of locking down specifics for a boxing bout, Ruiz said [via Bare Knuckle Bowker],
“Well, it’s going back and forth. I don’t know if they’re postponing it because they want it here in the United States and then people want it over there in London or in the UK. But I mean, they’re both from over there. So, I don’t know. I don’t see what’s the problem. I think it should be over there. I think they’re going to have more views and more people want to see it more over there. I just want the opportunity to fight either of them.”
Anthony Joshua Vs. Tyson Fury Reports For A December Showdown
Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury are still not officially confirmed to clash, but some reports out there indicate that a Holiday season clash near year’s end in Cardiff could possibly transpire. Reportedly, December 11th in Wales is what is being looked at, per sources who spoke with DAZN’s Chris Mannix. The report indicates that an official announcement for Anthony Joshua versus Tyson Fury could come as early as next week.
Both Fury and Joshua scored their respective wins a day apart from one another in July, with WBC president Mauricio Sulaiman indicating that he would give Fury-Joshua the distinction of being a WBC title eliminator if this booking finally gets locked in. This bout has been over a decade in the making, with the pair of generational heavyweight talents representing their British roots on the world stage for quite a while now.
