New heavyweight champion Andy Ruiz Jnr is demanding
£40million for a a rematch with Anthony Joshua.
Ruiz wants the second bout to be in Mexico or the US and says
it will take a huge sum to get him over to Britain.
'Yeah as they say November or December,' the Mexican said
when asked by FightHype about the rematch.
'Right now my team, they're negotiating everything right
now. I've just got to stay busy, stay healthy and be ready for the rematch. I'd
love it to be here in the United States or in Mexico you know. It all depends
on the team and what they negotiate.
“If they want me to go over there, they've got to give me
$50m (£40m). If they want to come over here - it's just negotiations you know.'
He added: 'If we do the rematch, I think he [Joshua] will
be more cautious, he's going to try and box me around, but Anthony's not good
at moving back. But if we're both going to be exchanging punches, I have the
faster hands and I can take a punch.'
