Ruiz Jr reveals Jake Paul’s best shot at Anthony Joshua
As the fight between Jake Paul and Anthony Joshua draws closer, Andy Ruiz Jr. has shared his perspective on how Paul might succeed in the ring. With their heavyweight showdown set for December 19 in Miami, Ruiz, one of the few men to have defeated Anthony Joshua, has now offered his thoughts on how Paul can get a genuine opening on fight night.
In a recent interview, Ruiz explained that Paul’s most reliable weapon has always been his straight power shot, and against a fighter like Joshua, landing that punch cleanly may be the only way to shift momentum.
Ruiz also acknowledged that many fans continue to underestimate Paul, but he pointed out that Paul has shown real commitment to improving his craft inside the ring.
Why does Ruiz’s opinion matter? Ruiz has fought with Anthony before, in 2019, when he shocked the boxing world by dropping Joshua multiple times and claimed the unified heavyweight titles. That experience gives weight to any advice he offers a fighter preparing to face Joshua, even someone as unconventional as Jake Paul.
Paul may be facing the steepest climb of his career, but insight from someone who has already toppled Joshua gives an interesting layer to the fight’s narrative. If Paul can follow through on Ruiz’s advice and land effectively, this matchup could turn out to be far more competitive than most expect. We await Anthony’s reaction.
