Evander Holyfield told Anthony Joshua how he should prepare for Andy Ruiz rematch

Boxing legend Evander Holyfield has advised Anthony Joshua to get in the appropriate sparring partners to try to replicate what he will face from Andy Ruiz Jr in their rematch next month. Joshua will have the chance to win back his WBA, IBF and WBO heavyweight titles when he faces Ruiz in Saudi Arabia on December 7 after suffering one of the biggest shocks in boxing history in June. “Of course he knows he has got to make some adjustments,” Holyfield told iFL TV. “Me personally, I kind of thought that Ruiz kept cornering him off, so what has he got to do? He has got to get somebody who is going to put the pressure on him like that. “When you are the champ you have got to get a sparring partner that will put pressure on you. There is no point in getting a sparring partner who looks at you and knows they haven’t got a chance of being you.”
