Anthony Joshua/Andy Ruiz Jr. Fight Prediction & Key Fights Coming Up In June
June 1: New York (DAZN)
Anthony Joshua(22-0) is coming off a September big win over Alexander Povetkin. In the bout against Povetkin it appeared at times as if Joshua would have to dig deep in order to get the win.
Povetkin landed a lot of his power shots to keep the bout close on the cards up until the point that Joshua sat on his punches to score a seventh round knockout.
The 29-year-old Joshua standing at 6’6” is more of a super heavyweight with power in both hands and above average waist movement and quick footwork for a man his size.
