Andy Ruiz believes Tyson Fury will beat Anthony Joshua in their £200million showdown later this year.
Ruiz says he was not overly impressed with Joshua’s ninth-round knockout of IBF mandatory challenger Kubrat Pulev in December.
He claims Joshua may struggle against Fury’s ‘strange style’ as he hasn’t faced an opponent ‘who boxes’ and ‘moves around’ like the Gypsy King.

‘I think it’s going to be an interesting fight. I fought Anthony Joshua, I haven’t fought Tyson Fury; he has a strange style, but I see Fury winning that fight …. I wasn’t impressed by Joshua’s last fight, but he managed to get the job done,’ Ruiz said to Little Giant Boxing.

As a result, he believes Joshua will struggle against Fury’s ‘strange style’ and movement
‘Maybe Fury will beat him, it depends on how weird he moves, if he boxes… Anthony hasn’t fought someone who boxes, who moves around like that. We will see what happens.’
Joshua suffered the first loss of his career after being knocked down four times against Ruiz on his American debut in New York, before the referee stopped the fight in round seven.
However, Joshua enacted his revenge in Saudi Arabia with a decisive rematch victory on points in December.

Since his loss to Joshua, Ruiz has joined forces with trainer Eddy Reynoso and now works side by side with several elite fighters.
‘It is a blessing to be here. It is very different from my last camp and where I trained, it is all concentration and dedication… you also have Canelo, Ryan (Garcia), all these motivations that help you grow; it’s like a competition, we all want to be the best, but we help each other,’ Ruiz said.
‘I can’t wait to get back in the ring; I’m not going to say who I’m going to fight, but it will be an interesting fight.’
