<\/p>\nJoshua has the chance to reclaim the heavyweight world titles he lost to Ruiz on December 7 in Saudi Arabia.<\/p>\n
The pair of fighters have lost weight ahead of their crunch heavyweight clash and Tyson has weighed in on the world title contest, analysing both of their chances.<\/p>\n
\u201cObviously he knows what happened, because I\u2019m sure he\u2019s watched the films.<\/p>\n
\u201cBecause if he\u2019s intelligent like I believe he is, he watched the films over and over of the last encounter he had with Ruiz. And he\u2019s worried, but he should be confident that he can be successful.\u201d<\/p>\n
Tyson also spoke about Ruiz Jr\u2019s weight loss. The Mexican-American appears to be lighter and the 53-year-old boxing legend believes it doesn\u2019t make sense.<\/p>\n
\u201cI just don\u2019t think that makes any sense.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut everybody has their own thing, their vanity gets the best of them, they say \u2018Hey, I wanna look good doing this stuff\u2019, I don\u2019t know. But I\u2019m a believer that if it\u2019s not broken, don\u2019t fix it. The only thing Ruiz has to do is do what he did last fight. That\u2019s all he has to live off of, from his memories, so to speak, from the last fight,\u201d Tyson added.<\/p>\n
When asked to make a prediction, Tyson chose to sit on the fence.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t know because anything is possible,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey\u2019re both great human beings, I like both of them personally, but this is a fight and I just hope the best man wins.\u201d<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
