Former Anthony Joshua<\/a> foe Andy Ruiz Jr has laid out his prediction for a showdown between \u2018AJ\u2019 and Tyson Fury<\/a>, who directly called his countryman out after victory in his comeback fight.<\/p>\n

After 16 months of inactivity, Fury outclassed Arslanbek Makhmudov this past weekend, winning all 12 rounds on two of the judges\u2019 scorecards as he handed the hard-hitting Russian a third career defeat and scored a first victory since 2023.<\/p>\n

During the aftermath, there was only one name of the mind of the 37-year-old, as he called out Joshua, who was sittinf ringside, for their long-awaited clash following a decade of missed chances.<\/p>\n

Ruiz, who shook up the world when he knocked Joshua out to claim the unified heavyweight world titles in 2019, told Casino.org<\/a> that there is added intrigue to that fight now that Joshua is training with Oleksandr Usyk \u2013 who has twice beaten both men.<\/p>\n

\u201cWell, I\u2019ve seen AJ training with Usyk, so I think if Usyk trains him really well, maybe AJ could change, maybe his style might become a little bit different. He\u2019ll have that dog in him.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2018The Destroyer\u2019 then went on to say that he believes Joshua will trump \u2018The Gypsy King\u2019 and explained how he thinks he will do it, predicting a stoppage win for the man he faced twice.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think Anthony Joshua would win. I think he could take Fury out. If he pressures him and doesn\u2019t let Tyson Fury box around and play his little games that he wants to play, then I think Joshua could win.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI think a lot of fighters look at his past and the stuff he\u2019s been through and the losses, but every fighter can redeem themself. Every fighter is different in every fight. Like they say, style makes fights, so I think that\u2019s one of the ways they underestimate him.\u201d<\/p>\n

Whilst Fury is keen for the fight to take place next, Anthony Joshua seems poised to face an alternate opponent in July<\/a>, where victory should tee up a showdown with his rival before the end of the year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Former Anthony Joshua foe Andy Ruiz Jr has laid out his prediction for a showdown between \u2018AJ\u2019 and…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":533889,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[41],"tags":[2560,101,56,54,55],"class_list":{"0":"post-533888","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-boxing","8":"tag-boxing","9":"tag-sports","10":"tag-uk","11":"tag-united-kingdom","12":"tag-unitedkingdom"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/533888","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=533888"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/533888\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/533889"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=533888"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=533888"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=533888"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
