Andy Ruiz Jr takes a jibe at Anthony Joshua as he makes rematch prediction

Ahead of the imminent rematch, Andy Ruiz Jr says he’s determined to prove his shock victory was no fluke when he takes on Anthony Joshua again. 

Andy Ruiz Jr believes he will defeat Anthony Joshua in their rematch - because the Brit is "not good at boxing".

On June 1, the unfancied challenger ended Anthony Joshua’s unbeaten at Madison Square Garden to claim his world heavyweight title belts.

A huge rematch has been set to take place in late November or early December with Joshua still considered the overwhelming favourite to avenge his defeat.

However, Ruiz is optimistic things will not change - vowing to put in a more better performance to prove his win was far from a fluke.

“The rematch is gonna be the same," Ruiz said.

"I’m gonna be more prepared, more ready. I know his flaws, I can do a lot better. I think the only thing he can do is just run around.”

“He’s not good at boxing, he’s not a good boxer. It’s going to be a hell of a fight – Ruiz vs Joshua II.”

Several conspiracy theories have emerged to try and justify Joshua's unexpected defeat after a lacklustre performance at Madison Square Garden.

But Ruiz opines that people are overlooking the fact Joshua was simply defeated by a "hungry" boxer who was determined to make history as the first Mexican to win a world heavyweight title.

“I think his people are trying to get something [to explain] why he lost like that," he added.

“But he fought a hungry guy, I was hungry, I was mentally focussed for that fight.”

“I did not wanna lose in front of my family or get beat up in front of my family.”

The anticipated rematch has been confirmed by Eddie Hearn to take place later this year, with Anthony Joshua currently keen on a Madison Square Garden return to right the wrongs of June 1.

A UK stadium fight at Tottenham's new White Hart Lane stadium, Wembley or the Principality Stadium in Cardiff could also happen.
