Joshua vs Ruiz II: Why is AJ Expected to Win?
Currently, there are active negotiations about this match taking place one more time. However, Anthony Joshua has been very strict with his demands saying he wants this match in America only – and not in Saudi Arabia or Mexico. The word is that Saudi Arabia might be the country where it finally happens.

Ruiz, on the other hand, wants to face AJ in Mexico. Mexico is his home town and that would give Ruiz a good momentum. However, Anthony Joshua asking to fight in a stadium of his choice gives him a greater advantage and hence he is expected to win this rematch if it ever takes place.
