After upsetting Anthony Joshua last week to become the IBO, WBA (super), IBF and WBO heavyweight boxing champion, Andy Ruiz Jr. has his sights set on Deontay Wilder.
Following his appearance Tuesday on Jimmy Kimmel Live, Ruiz told TMZ Sports that he is “aiming” for a bout with the undefeated Wilder (video contains NSFW language):
A Ruiz vs. Wilder fight likely won’t happen for quite some time, though, since Ruiz added: “First thing’s first. I gotta get Joshua.”
Ruiz’s comments seem to suggest that a rematch with Joshua is forthcoming. Per ESPN.com’s Dan Rafael, Joshua’s promoter, Eddie Hearn, said Tuesday that a rematch clause has been “triggered” with an eye toward a bout in November or December.
