‘Like I said before, in the sport of boxing, s*** happens.’- Floyd Mayweather backs Anthony Joshua ahead of Andy Ruiz rematch
Floyd Mayweather has thrown his weight behind Anthony Joshua to be the winner in his proposed rematch with Andy Ruiz Jr. coming up soon.

You will recall, Joshua got knocked down four times by Ruiz Jr who ended up claiming his three world titles. Right now, with talks of a rematch, many think Andy Ruiz Jr will successfully defend that title in the rematch.
Tyson Fury has gone on to throw shades at Joshua and also put his support behind Ruiz Jr to pull another upset.

Joshua after the loss felt really bad and stunned and immediately activated the rematch clause just days after his loss. Although no announcement on the date and venue yet, it is expected that the second fight will either be in New York at Madison Square Garden again or Joshua will insist the rematch take place in the UK maybe to have some home support.

That match was really electric because, no one saw it coming and to have Joshua hit the floor 4 times is simply classic and sent chills up many spines worldwide.
Andy Ruiz Jr didn't look like the fighter ( a |Homer Simpson" looking guy and a fit and buffed up boxer) who would pull that upset, but as we all know, upsets in Sports are inevitable and I love me some upsets.


Let's discuss.

What do you think about the rematch?
Who is your money on?
Will Ruiz jr pull another upset?
Is Anthony Joshua going to take this rematch seriously?
Was the first match fixed? (I seem to think it wasn't coming off right, lol.)
Where do you think the rematch will be held?


What do I think?

Well, I think there will be some surprises and I still think Joshua will do well and reclaim his titled. Andy Ruiz Jr will pull an upset, but the odds will favor Joshua based on points. You can bet on that!
