Current WBC world champion, Deontay Leshun Wilder, has launched a scathing remarks on both Andy Ruiz Jr and Anthony Joshua, calling the latter’s victory unconvincing ” jab-grab-hold method.” in an earlier interview.
“Joshua did what he had to do to get the win. He ran around the ring and was on his bike all day.
“Basically, he had Klitschko in the camp and he was a lot like Klitschko. That jab-grab-hold method. That’s all he did tonight.
“You want to dominate guys, man. Maybe I’m just too rough, too hard-core and too much of a dream for this time and era, maybe the world wants that nice s***.
“My mentality is so different from these other fighters. But when I think of myself as a champion, you want to come out there and whoop his ass.
“I’m not coming in, after losing to this guy, to just dance and grab and jab and hold. I’m going to show the world and convince them I am the very best and that no one is close to me.”
He added: “I don’t think we’ll ever see a unification bout. We’ll never see it, and I don’t want people to get their hopes up on it because it’ll never happen.
“They couldn’t say anything about fighting me. They couldn’t mention my name. They went around me
“I’m too dangerous. You’ve seen what I do in the ring. I don’t play around.
“And they know if Ruiz can get Joshua out of there, imagine. That’s why they stayed away from me.”
Anthony Joshua outboxed the Mexican-American Andy Ruiz Jr in their titanic twelve rounder to win back his heavyweight belts via a dominant unanimous decision.
Contrary to claims by Wilder of his name not mentioned for a possible unification battle with Joshua, the latter rather had this to say moments after the victory over Ruiz when he was quizzed on a possible match-up.
“When Wilder and Fury and Ortiz are really, really ready they’ll make the call … If you want to create history they know where we are.” Joshua expressed.
