Good evening
and welcome to our live blog of Anthony Joshua vs Andy Ruiz Jr. The main event will be on at around 9pm UK time, as we understand it, but in the meantime we have all the build-up, and also the undercard.Dillian Whyte vs Mariusz Wachshould be a highlight of that, Whyte has served up some excellent fights in his time, including one against Anthony Joshua in where he landed a shot on AJ in round two that the big man did enjoy much, and winded him laster as well, but Joshua got it done in the end.
Joshua comes into this fight, of course, with questions about his tactical nous and his defensive abilities. I personally think he has proven his heart and courage when he came back after being floored by Vladimir Klitschko to win that career-high night. The career low, of course, was defeat to Andy Ruiz in June. Is AJ too easy to hit?
At theweigh-in, AJ was 728 (stone) ********************************** and Ruiz was three pounds north of stone, that’s a stone more than he weighed when he beat AJ. I cannot see that’s a good sign for Andy. But people learned to their cost that underestimating a man based on how he looks is a bad, bad idea. If you think you know how this is going to turn out, then we have someAnthony Joshua vs Andy Ruiz Jr free betsfor ya.
Although you’ll be doing well if you match Joshua’s earnings for his night’s work: apparently he is getting 70 million British pounds. Wowser. Ruiz walks away with a mere £ m, but that’s still a massive, exponential increase on the coin he was making prior to his sensational triumph.
And here is the tale of the tape.
