Following his defeat to British fighter, Andy Ruiz has attributed his lose to three months of partying, admitting he had failed to train seriously for his first title defence.
The 30-year-old Mexican-American failed to replicate the performance that saw him stun the world in June when he floored Joshua four times on the way to a sensational upset victory in their first fight at Madison Square Garden.
Speaking after the match, he said, “Three months of partying and celebrating affected me, what can I say?”.
When quipped on what he would do differently if given a rematch, Ruiz said, “Listen to my coach. Listen to my dad. And take it more seriously.”
