Andy Ruiz Jr. makes his comeback this weekend and wants Deontay Wilder next
"That would be an all-action fight. He’s a banger. I’m a banger as well. And he’s fought Chris Arreola before.
The first Mexican heavyweight champion surrendered his three world titles with an underwhelming performance which saw Joshua outpoint him by a wide decision.
Some compared his reign as champion to James 'Buster' Douglas, who delivered the biggest upset in boxing history to defeat Mike Tyson in 1989.
Douglas would be regarded as a one-hit wonder as the overweight American lost his next fight to Evander Holyfield.
He appointed world class trainer Eddy Reynoso - who works with Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez and Ryan Garcia - and has lost more than 60 pounds in weight ahead of his comeback fight.
"That would be an exciting fight," Ruiz told BoxingScene.com about the possibility of facing Deontay Wilder. "That would be an all-action fight. He's a banger. I'm a banger as well. And he's fought Chris Arreola before.
"There's Wilder, there's Tyson Fury," Ruiz added. "I know he's gonna fight Anthony Joshua soon, but I gotta stay busy.
