Manny Robles, the man who lead Andy Ruiz Jr. to become Mexico’s first ever heavyweight champion, has given his input on the rematch.
Ruiz dropped Anthony Joshua four times on his way to a crushing win back in June. This time around, Robles believes Joshua will bring something different.
“It’s been three months of preparation which is something we didn’t have for the last fight,” pointed out Robles. “I’m very pleased to say we had a great camp, perfect sparring partners, perfect time, perfect time to prepare to come up with a better game plan.
“Understand we have a very difficult task in front of us. We respect him, and we know he’s a great fighter. We’re going to be ready for the task.
“Andy has a had a great camp, and mentally and physically prepared for the challenge. We look forward to it. I hope no one walks away disappointed Saturday night.”
On being a different fight this time around, Robles added: “Absolutely it will be a different fight. We worked hard, we’re ready for the challenge.
“We’re taking this fight very seriously, we’ve been very tough on him, Andy knows it. He’s been focused, ready to go every day. We’re up to the challenge.”
