Andy Ruiz JR issues warning to Joshua: AJ reveals potential ring walk music

Photo/TheMirror Anthony Joshua has revealed some of the potential options for his ring walk music when he faces Andy Ruiz in New York. The 29-year-old defends his IBF, WBA and WBO world heavyweight titles against the Mexican at Madison Square Garden on Saturday night. “I’ve been thinking about it," said Joshua when asked about his entrance music. "Thinking about the ‘Dipset Anthem.’ Possibly Meek Mill’s ‘Dreams and Nightmares.’ The song inspires but so does the crowd. They give that energy, too. I remember in the Olympics, I had been fighting only two-and-a-half years and then I’m in the Olympics so I am thinking, ‘What the hell am I doing here?’ I remember trying to block out the energy of the crowd. But it’s impossible, you use to much energy trying to do that. So I just absorb all that energy, take that frequency and bring it into the ring. You can’t block it out, you need to absorb.” Andy Ruiz JR, meanwhile, is ready to seize his date with “destiny” against Joshua. Despite being offered the fight at late notice that victory also means Ruiz Jr is both confident and sharp as he told Press Association Sport: "That's exactly how I feel. My heart, my mind, my soul. It's destiny. Things happen for a reason, and the reason is for me to become the first Mexican heavyweight champion of the world. (Joshua's) got all the belts and everybody's trying to fight him. He's a big money name. I'm here to conquer what he has. When I fought Parker I went all the way to his hometown (Auckland). A lot of people don't know about the training camp I had; I trained myself for that fight. Even though I was with (respected trainer) Abel Sanchez, he was just a little bit busy. I learned a lot from him but I've learned about working hard. Before I was slacking off too much. Now I have this opportunity, I feel amazing. I felt down but us fighters are warriors, we get back up, work harder, and I'm back here, getting this opportunity to make history. I come forward and throw combinations that Joshua hasn't seen. I hit harder than Jarrell Miller, and I'm faster."
