Despite the fact that last week the International Boxing Federation (IBF) championship committee appointed a fight for the “interim” heavyweight title between Andy Ruiz Jr. and Filip Hrgovic, Ruiz (35-2, 22 KOs), apparently, everything will opt for a Candidates fight against Deontay Wilder (43-2-1, 42 KOs).
In any case, information appeared earlier that the fighters had already agreed on everything, although not yet to the end.
Deontay also hopes that Ruiz will pick him.
“Andy is a good fighter. But still not good enough to handle me. I’m better than any of them, that’s why they are all afraid of me,” Wilder said. – Now we are busy looking for a location for the duel, we hold many meetings. All will be known soon. I want to fight Andy and I hope he wants to fight me.”
But Deontay has no doubts about Anthony Joshua: “He doesn’t want to fight me, it’s obvious”
