A number of other major stars have weighed in their opinion on who they in support of to emerge victorious ahead the ‘Clash on the Dunes’.
Footballer, Mario Goetze said: “I think Anthony Joshua is going to win the rematch. He probably prepared himself very well to fight Ruiz again to seek revenge. It is definitely going to be a great and exciting fight, I can’t wait.”
Metta Peace said, “Hmm, it’s difficult. First time, I gave Ruiz a 20 percent chance to win and with that 20% he actually won. This time, it’s really tough.
“I can’t pick because I love both boxers. Good luck to both Joshua and Ruiz.”
Bernard Hopkins said, “Joshua needs to win impressively to prove that the first fight was a fluke. I can see him getting a unanimous decision but that would almost feel like a loss. He needs to be impressive. To me, this fight feels like Lennox Lewis vs. Hasim Rahman 2. Anthony Joshua needs to channel his Lennox Lewis with a big, impressive win.”
