Joshua Rematch Won’t Hold In UK – Ruiz

Unified world heavyweight champion Andy Ruiz jr has said he will not contest his rematch with Anthony Joshua in the United Kingdom.

Ruiz shocked the world in New York on June 1 when he defeated Joshua. He is contractually obliged to face the Briton in a repeat bout.

Cardiff’s Principality Stadium was the “frontrunner” to host the fight on 14 December, according to Joshua’s promoter, Eddie Hearn.

But speaking on the Joe Roman Experience about a UK fight, Ruiz said :”That’s not going to happen.”.

He added : “. We have been going back and forth,my team and their team. I’d love to have it back at Madison Square Garden to run it back.

“The staples Center ( Los Angeles), Las Vegas would have been great too”

Ruiz, 29 refused to say where the highly anticipated bout is set to be, but said news would circulate “pretty soon”.
