The rematch between Andy Ruiz Jr and Anthony Joshua may not be happening in the UK, as the Mexican-American heavyweight is pushing for the fight to take place in either of his two home countries. Andy Ruiz had claimed the WBA, IBF and WBO titles, after he defeated Anthony Joshua in a fight which took place in Madison Square, New York, United States. Speaking to TMZ Sports on plans about the rematch, he said; “I haven’t talked to him, but I’m pretty sure he’s training hard for the rematch and so am I. I want the rematch to be in Mexico or New York City again, Vegas, or here [in LA].” When asked if the Nigerian-born British boxer will agree to this, he said; “It doesn’t matter because I’m the champion… I’m calling the shots… We’re the A-side.” View this post on Instagram #AndyRuiz says he will refuse a rematch with #AnthonyJoshua in the UK.
