Anthony Joshua vs Andy Ruiz Jr: Details of rematch clause revealed
On Tuesday, boxing
promoter Eddie Hearn, confirmed that Anthony Joshua has triggered the immediate
rematch clause in his contract, after his shock defeat to Andy Ruiz Jr.
Ruiz is set for a
£10million payday, which is approximately double the purse he netted for one of
the greatest upsets in the sport’s history, according to SportsMail.
The terms were
written into the deal ahead of the first fight at Madison Square Garden on
Saturday.
Under that
agreement, it is understood Joshua will also call the shots over the location
second bout.
Ruiz, who is the
new IBF, WBA and WBO champion, had suggested his native Mexico.
With November or
December identified for the rematch, it is possible the fight will take place
under the roof at Cardiff’s Principality Stadium.
However, if the
Joshua team opts to forego home advantage for the sake of restoring his
reputation in the US, Madison Square Garden bosses are keen to stage the second
bout.
