The potential matchup between Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua has split the boxing universe into two halves. Several boxers have taken their sides to the debate and former champion Andy Ruiz Jr. hasn’t failed to dive in. He connected with Little Giant Boxing to shed opinion on the matchup and thrilled several fans with his clear response.
‘The Destroyer’ has analyzed both the current heavyweight champions, billing his favor towards the WBC titleholder, Tyson Fury. Moreover, the Mexican has ridiculed Anthony Joshua’s recent KO win against Kubrat Pulev, citing an advantage for ‘The Gypsy King’ in the title unification clash.

Andy Ruiz Jr. said, “Tyson Fury has a real style, he is tall, he fights… I kinda see Tyson Fury winning that fight. I wasn’t too impressed with Anthony Joshua’s last performance, but he got the job done. I think maybe Tyson Fury might get him… Anthony hasn’t fought anybody that boxes and moves around, so we’ll see about that.”
The former champion also said that he would be there ringside for the fight. Moreover, his comments may have weight as he is the only man to have denied ‘AJ‘ a professional win. Has he given ‘The Gypsy King’ the blueprint?
