American professional boxer, Andy Ruiz Jr, has warned Anthony Joshua ahead of their June 1 rumble at Madison Square Garden, New York.
According to Ruiz, Joshua hasn’t fought anyone like him and he shouldn’t be fooled by his physical appearance and muscles.
He said:
“Joshua hasn’t ever fought somebody like me. I don’t think he knows how to box and move back.
“I know a lot of people underestimate me just because of how I look, because of my body, but that has nothing to do with me fighting.
“Yes, Anthony Joshua is buffed, he has a lot of muscles, but you don’t need a lot of muscles to learn how to fight, to take punches and be strong.
“I’ve proved that a lot of times. I’ve fought a lot of big, muscular guys but that doesn’t really mean anything.”
However, claiming to be an aggressive and a fast fighter, Ruiz believes his confrontational style will make him win.
“I’m an aggressive fighter that throws a lot of combinations. I’m not scared of getting hit. I love action fights.
“As long as I let my hands go, throw the combinations and stick to the game plan, we are going to win this fight.
“He hasn’t fought anyone who matches my speed and the pressure I’m going to bring,” he added
