Â
When asked how he felt about the fight, Ruiz said: 'It feels good. You know I made history in New York and I'll make history again in Saudi Arabia.'Â
Â
This comes after Ruiz Jr took a swipe at Joshua, claiming his decision to lose weight ahead of their rematch could be a mistake
Â
'I saw videos where he looked slimmer. I don't know if that's an advantage or a disadvantage, ' Ruiz Jr told Sky Sports.
Â
'I don't know if he will take the punches as well as he did when he weighed more.'
Â
Ruiz Jr who also lost some weight added: 'Me? People are saying I lost too much weight, I won't be strong, he will move me around. I am losing eight pounds from what I weighed on June 1. I'll still be the same, I'll still be strong.Â
