TFKoB claims that the rematch will NOT be in the UK, and that the announcement of the December rematch is imminent.

I can't blame him, but let's see if he's posturing to get more money.

He claimed that it is a done deal and soon to be announced.

Perhaps I'm too stubborn as a big Joshua fan and a big Ruiz detractor but I expect aj to dominate wherever it is.

They don’t call TFKoB
The Destroyer for nothing.

Yeah I'm thinking he'll use one of them "Just win this one, look good next time" type mentalities. He may even fight a relatively safe, and dull fight, but he'll win.

TFKoB is too good to the body, too fast, and too strong a beard.

I want Ruiz to win but feel this is a 50/50 fight.

I agree, but when a fight is 50/50 I go with the man with the better chin and meaner attitude.

The latter is really what I wonder about. AJ's head is the biggest concern. Second is his chin (temple?).

Saw all I needed to in the last fight, Ruiz stops him again IMO and there is no way he’ll be happy to go to the cards.

Ruiz should have his number now, head movement, angles, back him up and punch when AJ punches, job done.
