Andy Ruiz Jr has claimed Anthony Joshua is willing to agree to a trilogy fight in order to settle their heavyweight rivalry.
Joshua suffered his first career defeat on a historic night at Madison Square Garden when he was stopped by late replacement Ruiz Jr in 2019. 'AJ' outboxed Ruiz Jr in their Saudi Arabia rematch six months later to regain his three world titles and exact his revenge.
Joshua now faces another rebuilding job after two consecutive losses to Oleksandr Usyk, and is planning a return in the early months of 2023. The British star was ringside in Abu Dhabi recently for Dmitry Bivol's win over Gilberto Ramirez, with Ruiz Jr also in attendance to support his fellow Mexican.
