Andy Ruiz, who famously upset Anthony Joshua in 2019, believes a trilogy fight between the two is inevitable. After praising Joshua’s recent form, Ruiz expressed his desire to regain his heavyweight titles. While a trilogy fight in 2024 seems unlikely, Ruiz is determined to work his way back into title contention with an upcoming fight against Jarrell Miller.
Saudi Arabia’s General Entertainment Authority Chairman Turki Alalshikh is making waves in the boxing world with his first card in the United States. Eddie Hearn’s Matchroom is promoting the event, which will showcase a star-studded lineup led by Terence Crawford challenging Israil Madrimov for the IBF super welterweight title. Other highlights include Isaac ‘Pitbull’ Cruz defending his WBA junior welterweight belt against Jose Valenzuela, a heavyweight clash between Andy Ruiz and Jarrell ‘Big Baby’ Miller, and a potential showdown between Vergil Ortiz Jr. and Tim Tszyu. The card is scheduled for August 3 at the Los Angeles Forum in Inglewood, California. Crawford’s return to the ring is expected to draw a massive audience, but the rest of the planned card could make this the biggest boxing event of 2024.
Former unified heavyweight champion Andy Ruiz has hinted at a potential return to the ring, responding to a social media post about a reported return date with a pair of eyes emoji. Ruiz hasn’t fought since defeating Luis Ortiz on points in November 2022 and has struggled to secure an opponent in the face of increased activity in the heavyweight division.
