Eddie Hearn believes Anthony Joshua will beat Andy Ruiz Jr on points during their rematch in Saudi Arabia.
2012 Olympic Gold Medalist and former IBF, WBO, and IBO heavyweight boxing champion was knocked out in the seventh round at Madison Square Garden Saturday night by massive betting odds underdog Ruiz Jr.
The heavyweight world title clash is due to take place near Riyadh on December 7 amid much controversy.
“
I think it’s more getting the strategy right for this fight," Hearn told Behind the Gloves. “
But more importantly, getting the mindset right for this fight.”
When asked for his prediction, Hearn replied: “
Joshua wins on points.”
