Mike Tyson believes Andy Ruiz Jr. can beat Anthony Joshua once again if they ever collide in a possible trilogy. Although the pair are far from facing each other in a current scenario, a third meeting is still relevant on charts. That said, Ruiz Jr. has often expressed his interest in the third bout. He was the first and only man to vanquish Anthony Joshua, in what became one of the biggest upsets in the sport’s history.
Besides, Ruiz Jr. also became the first-ever Mexican fighter to grab the world heavyweight gold. While the scoreboard is at a 1- level; heavyweight icon Mike Tyson pinpointed how Ruiz Jr. can dismantle Anthony Joshua in another fight.
Speaking on his podcast with Ruiz Jr, and Henry Cejudo, Mike Tyson said, “I think the jab, his jab basically put him in the position for everything. I think he has to just keep using his jabs, and put it in the face two-three times, follow with the right-left.”

He added, “If you don’t throw a jab, he could see everything coming. The hooks, he can see everything coming.”
Following a loss in the re-match against Anthony Joshua, ‘The Destroyer’ maintained a long-lay off from the in-ring action. He made a few changes in his camp and joined hands with Team Canelo. Hence, Ruiz Jr. claimed a successful return against Chris Arreola and is back on the championship ride. However, Anthony Joshua is way ahead in the race and is currently looking to defend his titles against Oleksandr Usyk. So, will we ever see Joshua vs Ruiz 3?

On bagging one more win, Ruiz Jr. would be a viable contender for the world titles.

If Anthony Joshua beats them all, and Ruiz Jr. also rakes his spot with a few wins, we can see the trilogy go down on the line.
