Joshua Feels He And Ruiz Will Box A Trilogy: We’ll Definitely See Each Other The Third Time
Speaking at yesterday’s open workout, 30 year old Joshua spoke of how Ruiz has been on his mind, almost constantly, since that disastrous evening in New York a little over six months ago. And Joshua said he and Ruiz will “see a lot more of each other.”
As fans may recall, shortly after his stunning upset defeat to Andy Ruiz in June, Anthony Joshua was accused of having been badly hurt, knocked down, perhaps even knocked out, in sparring just prior to the bout in New York (Joey Dawejko being the guy pointed at for doing the damage). It was this, along with a few other things, even a panic attack suffered on the way to the ring (denied by AJ) that was instrumental in Joshua being beaten.
