Andy Ruiz Jr has given a strong reminder that in their first fight, Anthony Joshua fought "something he's never seen before" and threatened to beat him "even harder" in the re-encounter.
Andy Ruiz vs Anthony Joshua Ruiz Jr also claims that Joshua's target is to reclaim next Saturday's heavyweight IBF, WBA and WBO championships.
"I'm looking forward to that. But it's better for me if he wants to bang. I enjoy banging because it's the warrior I'm, "Ruiz Jr told Sky Sports exclusively, six months after Joshua was floored four times and an unforgettable upset was over.
“December 7 we have to pressure, work the body, break him down. Especially his mentality.
“We’ve got to see where he’s at because all the pressure is on him. The pressure isn’t on me because I followed my dream, made my dreams come true.
“Of course I want more – I want the legacy of Andy Ruiz Jr.”
Ruiz Jr had previously explained that his sparring partners were being “slick” in anticipation of Joshua trying to be elusive.
“People haven’t seen me cut off the ring,” Ruiz Jr warned. “I actually break them down even faster when they try to box me around.”
