AJ exacted his revenge six months later to reclaim the unified heavyweight titles
The Brit is open to having a trilogy with Mexico’s first heavyweight champion
A lean and mean AJ, 33, exacted his revenge six months later to reclaim the unified heavyweight titles – prompting an overweight and over-partied Ruiz Jr to demand a third showdown.
And a recent conversation between the pair in Abu Dhabi has seemingly put the wheels in motion for a rubber match.
Mexico’s first heavyweight champion told Intu Boxing: “I’m trying to get those titles back.
“I just spoke to Anthony Joshua, he told me he wants to make something happen, he wants to make the trilogy – that’d be pretty cool!
“I just brought it up, but that’s how things happen and fights get made, so we’ll see.”
Joshua, 33, might be keen on closing the book on his rivalry with Ruiz Jr, but the same can’t be said for promoter Eddie Hearn.
The Matchroom Boxing chief said: “Definitely, I mean, (Wilder) was one of the names I mentioned to him tonight.
“I’m not just saying it, but I couldn’t say a fight to AJ that he doesn’t go. He said tonight about Andy Ruiz.
“I said have you seen Andy Ruiz over there, he went, ‘Yeah, I’d love to fight him again’.
“I was like, ‘Why? You’re not fighting him again!’. He was like ‘Why not?’ and I went ‘F*** off’. He’s horrible!'”
AJ is currently in the rebuilding phase of his career following consecutive losses to pound-for-pound king Oleksandr Usyk.
But the Watford warrior is refusing to commit to a date for his next outing, saying: “I don’t know [when I’ll be back].
“I was supposed to be in the ring this year, I’m going to be in the ring next year. I’ll be in the ring when I’m in the ring.
“I don’t want to make statements today and then I’ll get held to the cross.
“Do you know what I mean? When I’m ready, I’ll be back in the ring.”

Punching Techniques
There are seven types. Each punch has its own technique. Some punches are more powerful than others. For example, an uppercut is a powerful punch. A straight punch, on the other hand requires less power and is quicker than other punches.
There are many combinations that can be used to punch. These are combinations of punches which work together to achieve a goal. A combination can contain multiple parts. A left hook followed with a right-cross will cause injury to the opponent’s jaw.
Guard Techniques
A boxer uses his body to protect himself against attacks. He does this using his legs and arms, elbows as well as hands, knees and feet.
Legs
Boxers must use their legs to defend themselves against kicks. When he’s hit, he raises his right leg and runs away from the attacker. If the attack comes from the front, then he bends his knees to avoid being kicked on the side. However, if the attack comes from behind, he stands up straight and blocks the kick with his foot.
Elbows
Because they cause great pain, elbow strikes are extremely effective. You can either deliver an elbow strike directly, or indirectly. Directly means that you hit your opponent with your forearm while indirectly means that you hit him with another part of your arm.
Hands
Boxers use their hands as a shield against incoming punches. To do this, they raise their fists higher than their heads and move their arms in the direction that the attack is coming. The attacker’s fist is then in their face.
Knees
When receiving a blow to the stomach, abdomen or chest, a boxer should bend his knees to absorb the impact. Defense purposes are often served by knee strikes.
Feet
If he is being attacked, a boxer must take a step back and counter-attack. This will help him gain distance from his opponent. Boxers should also keep their balance when counter-attacking.
Stances
Boxing effectively requires a boxer to have a good stance. The way he defends him will be dictated by his stance. It defines where he faces his opponent and how he positions his body. There are many stances available to boxers. Here are some of the more popular ones:
- Low stance
- High stance
- Southpaw stance
- Western stance
Moving your body
In order to win a fight, a boxer must move around his opponent. This means changing your speed, position and rhythm.
Rotation
A boxer will rotate his arm when he is throwing a punch. The rotation is done at different speeds depending on the type of punch.
Combinations
The timing of each individual punch affects the effectiveness or failure of a combination. A combination of strong and weak punches will produce a good result.
Spare parts
Sparring, a boxing practice session, is designed to improve your boxing skills. A sparring session is where a boxer trains both his mind and his body. The purpose of sparring is, in short, to learn how fight and not get hurt.
To sum it all, boxing requires patience and dedication. You need to train hard and long in order to become a better boxer.
