Andy Ruiz Jr suggests Anthony Joshua trilogy after calling Eddie Hearn out on Twitter

Andy Ruiz Jr open to third fight against Anthony Joshua

Former heavyweight champion Andy Ruiz Jr has suggested that he would be willing to face Anthony Joshua for a third time. The pair initially fought in June 2019, with Ruiz Jr scoring a surprise knockout victory to claim multiple titles. However, Joshua avenged his loss later that year with a unanimous decision win.

Trilogy bout possible amid talks of facing Deontay Wilder

While negotiations for a potential fight against Deontay Wilder have stalled, talks of a trilogy bout between Ruiz Jr and Joshua may be on the cards. Joshua's promoter, Eddie Hearn, revealed that if a deal with Wilder doesn't materialize, a fight against Ruiz Jr or Filip Hrgovic could be considered as alternatives.

Ruiz Jr calls out Eddie Hearn

Ruiz Jr took to social media to call out promoter Eddie Hearn, expressing his desire for a third bout with Joshua. In a tweet accompanied by a punching emoji, Ruiz Jr said, "Let's do this Eddie Hearn."

Promoter focused on Saudi Arabia for Wilder fight

While discussions continue with Saudi Arabia to potentially host a fight against Wilder, Hearn acknowledged that if a fight with Hrgovic or Ruiz Jr were to take place, it would likely be outside of the UK. Hearn also emphasized the importance of moving boxing forward and expressed his readiness to make a deal with Saudi Arabia if they are interested.
