Andy Ruiz Jr says the sky is the limit following his win against Anthony Joshua in one of the greatest shocks in boxing history.
Andy Ruiz Jr said:Â “Without my dad this would not have been possible and I just feel so good. This is what I have been dreaming about and I cannot believe I made my dreams come true. I want to thank my team and my family and the sky is the limit.
“That was my first time getting dropped on the floor but it made me want it even more and I just thank God. I have got that Mexican blood in me and that just proved it. I could sense Joshua was hurt but I didn’t want to throw everything at it, I just wanted to work the body and stick to the game plan. Right now, I just want to celebrate and I made history for Mexico. It means everything.”
‘This is the risk we take’
Anthony Joshua, speaking says: “Boxing is a tough sport, but I train hard and I got beaten by a good fighter, it will be interesting to see how far he goes, but this is all part of the journey. I’m a fighter by heart, boxer by trade, it has got people talking and there’s more life in the heavyweight division. When your legs are all over the gaff, you are trying to stabolise. This is the first fight like that. Against Klitschko (when he also got knocked down) I was just tired. Congratulations to the first Mexican heavyweight champion. We bounce back.
This is the risk we take, every fighter deserves respect so congratulations to him. I respect every fighter, this is all part of the legacy, it’s how strong I came back. He’s a champion for now, I shall return.”
