“I have the upper advantage right now [in negotiation position for a Joshua rematch]. I know that’s what he says [that Hearn and Joshua want rematch in the UK],” said Ruiz to AB Boxing News. “As long as I talk to Al Haymon and my team, we’re going to figure it out where. It really doesn’t matter where, as long as we get back in the ring if we show the fans what they want to see,” said Ruiz.
Ruiz admitted that he’s not certain what the rematch clause says about where the fight will take place. He’s going to speak with his adviser Al Haymon. By now, Ruiz likely has found out whether he has to face Joshua in the UK or not.
“I’d love to have it here [New York] or in LA,” said Ruiz Jr. about wanting the Joshua rematch in the U.S. “I don’t know,” said Ruiz when asked if the rematch with Joshua will happen right away or later on. “I have to look at the contract. I’m the champion. I call the shots now. So we’re going to see what happens.”
