Mike Tyson puzzled by Andy Ruiz Jr weight loss ahead of Anthony Joshua rematch – Irish Mirror

Mike Tyson has admitted he's puzzled by Andy Ruiz Jr's decision to lose weight ahead of his rematch with Anthony Joshua.

Mexican Ruiz has shown off a more svelte figure ahead of his second meeting with Brit Joshua - which takes place in Saudi Arabia on December 7.

Ruiz was the butt of many jokes for the way he looked when he stepped into to fight Joshua at the last minute in June.

But he stunned his heavyweight rival to claim the WBA, IBF, WBO and IBO world titles at Madison Square Gardens with a TKO.

Tyson has seen the new look Ruiz and reckons that the change "makes no sense" and thinks vanity might have got the better of him.

Tyson told Parimatch: "I just dont think that makes any sense.

"But everybody has their own thing, their vanity gets the best of them, they say 'Hey, I wanna look good doing this stuff', I dont know.

"But Im a believer that if its not broken, dont fix it.

"The only thing Ruiz has to do is do what he did last fight.

"Thats all he has to live off of, from his memories, so to speak, from the last fight."

The Mexican-American expects to weigh less for the rematch but insists his performance will not be affected.

"Me? People are saying I lost too much weight, I won't be strong, he will move me around," Ruiz said. "I am losing eight pounds from what I weighed on June 1. I'll still be the same, I'll still be strong.

"AJ has always been in shape. He has always looked really good, really cut up."

Ruiz Jr has outlined his last-minute preparations before the rematch.

"Right now, we are meditating, we are preparing, we are getting sharper in the ring and training as well. We are visualising the fight and becoming victorious, said Ruiz.

To all my fans please come and support me, its going to be a huge fight, its the Clash On The Dunes. We are two big guys fighting each other looking to be the Heavyweight Champion of the World.

Hes trying to take my belts away so Im going to do everything thats possible to win and Im going to do it for all my people.

They can expect to see someone who is not giving up and doing everything possible to win, God willing we are going to take this victory.
