Ruiz Jr recently revealed to K.O. Artists Sports [via Boxing News 24] that he is looking for a trilogy fight with Joshua or a bout against Tyson Fury or Oleksandr Usyk should he get the win against Ortiz.

He said: “Of course, there’s the blood that needs to get back to because I won [one time] and AJ won [one] time, and he won me the other time because of myself. I didn’t do the right things.

“Right now, I feel I’m in the right state of mind. Either one would be good. I just want the opportunity to get that belt. The WBC belt that’s the one I’m chasing for. If it’s Wilder, Usyk, or Joshua again, whatever it takes. I just want that belt.

“I’m going to go for Tyson Fury because of his style. Tyson is a good guy, even though he does a lot for show.”
