Former heavyweight champ Andy Ruiz Jr has his personal must-win combat arising in opposition to Jarrell “Huge Child” Miller, who “The Destroyer” will face on the stacked card set for Los Angeles on August third. However Ruiz is eyeing an enormous combat with world heavyweight ruler Oleksandr Usyk.
Talking with ES Information, Ruiz stated he’s selecting Usyk to defeat Fury once more of their December twenty first rematch. He revealed that he himself has spoken with Usyk, telling the Ukrainian how it will be “wonderful” if he obtained into the ring with the unbeaten southpaw.
“I’m going for Usyk. I’m certain he’ll get it,” Ruiz stated when requested who he thinks will win the return battle between Usyk and Fury. “That’s what I advised him [Usyk] in Las Vegas. I stated, ‘Man, it’ll be wonderful if me and also you combat,’ however he has to combat Tyson Fury in December. He [Fury] stated he may beat me with one hand behind his again. I really feel like he’s already gone via a number of wars, and possibly this can be his final combat.”
Apparently, Usyk’s co-trainer, Sergey Lapin, just lately said how Usyk will cease Fury within the return combat and that Fury will retire from the game after being overwhelmed twice in a row by the identical man. Now Ruiz is suggesting we may see Fury’s ultimate combat in December. As for Ruiz in opposition to Usyk, this combat appears considerably unlikely, as Usyk has prompt he might drop again all the way down to cruiserweight after he defeats Fury a second time. On the identical time, Lapin spoke about the opportunity of his fighter going into the cage for a combat or two.
However Ruiz, with these quick fingers and his good boxing mind, has proven that, on his finest night time, he’s an actual problem for anybody. How would Usyk take care of Ruiz and people swift fingers? Once more, the combat might not occur, however in heavyweight boxing, in actual fact, in any weight division, just about any combat can occur lately. However first, Ruiz, 35-2(22), has to deal with Miller subsequent month. At age 34, Ruiz can’t afford a 3rd defeat. Can Ruiz attain the highest once more, both in opposition to Usyk or, extra doubtless, in opposition to TBA in a combat for one in all Usyk’s vacated titles?
Ruiz, 26-1-1 (22), can be below the microscope within the combat with Miller. Inactive since September 2022, Ruiz had higher be in prime form and totally targeted for the night time of August third.
