Promoter Eddie Hearn insists that the current short list of replacement opponents to face unbeaten, unified heavyweight titlist Anthony Joshua is down to four names.
Andy Ruiz is hoping it soon whittles down to one—his own.
The once-beaten heavyweight contender enjoyed his PBC debut in the best possible way. Ruiz scored a 5th round knockout win over Alexander Dimitrenko live on Fox last Saturday and then shortly emerged as a front runner to land a coveted title crack at Joshua on June 1 at Madison Square Garden in New York City.
Whomever lands the assignment will replace unbeaten Jarrell Miller, who blew a multi-million dollar payday after testing positive for three different banned substances as discovered through Voluntary Anti-Doping Agency (VADA) random drug testing.
Ruiz is hoping to have his cake—or in his case, Snickers bar—and eat it too.
