Andy Ruiz predicts a single punch could decide Fury‑Joshua heavyweight showdown

Former champion Andy Ruiz Jr., who dethroned Anthony Joshua with a seventh‑round stoppage in 2019, said a single punch could determine the outcome of the highly anticipated Tyson Fury versus Anthony Joshua bout slated for later this year. Ruiz highlighted the importance of both fighters' upcoming tune‑up matches – Fury will face Mariusz Wach in Pattaya, Thailand on July 24, while Joshua is set to fight Kristian Prenga in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia on July 25. He praised Joshua’s ongoing work with Oleksandr Usyk and noted that aggressive pressure could swing the fight in Joshua’s favor, whereas Fury’s head‑movement and volume punching could give him the edge. Ruiz expressed his personal ambition to return to the ring, hoping for a future clash with either British star.
