That said, the belts are tied up with the ongoing Fury-Joshua saga. It’d be great and honorable and whatever if he gave Chisora a rematch, but that’s not often how boxing works. The reward doesn’t equal the risk at that point. Parker (29-2, 21 KO) could rematch Chisora, but honestly, from anything resembling a “business standpoint,” why would he? Unless that’s an eliminator order, I don’t know why Parker would want to spend another 12 rounds in the ring with the rugged veteran. I don’t know if I’d quite go “robbery,” but I scored it 114-113 for Chisora, and I thought he took it in the 12th round, with the aid of an extra point for a first round knockdown. Joseph Parker was lucky to get the nod over Derek Chisora on Saturday. We really have no idea what Wilder is doing right now or wants to do for that matter, so who knows? But this really might be the fight for PBC to make at heavyweight - if Wilder doesn’t get a third fight with Tyson Fury first, which, look, until Fury-Joshua has a date and a venue and a broadcaster and everything, don’t write that off. It’s a possibly fascinating story to sell ahead of the fight, and you have dedicated fan bases on both sides. A Wilder comeback against a Ruiz coming off of a win is a fight you can sell on PPV not massive numbers, but most things are not designed to where they have to sell 500K or anything. The FOX PBC Twitter account did throw it out there.
(PBC just are not giving FOX good fights outside of PPV, which may be because FOX won’t pay what good fights cost.)
Ruiz could also get even better with another camp under Eddy Reynoso, but this wouldn’t be a bad fight to make, other than you have to try to sell it on pay-per-view, probably.

He’s old and a little slower than he used to be, but he knows how to fight, and Ruiz can be clipped by old, slow guys. People have mostly avoided him for a reason. The “42-year-old” Cuban has never quite gotten over the hump, and beating Ruiz would be by far his best actual win, but he’s dangerous. Luis Ortiz, who was at the fight and believes he has the fight with Ruiz coming.There are two obvious in-house options with PBC:

Ruiz should not be having a series of fights with a 40-year-old Arreola. But it was always a fight meant to get Ruiz back with a win against a guy people know a little bit. This fight served its purpose, and hats (or “tops” if you’re Andy) off to Arreola for fighting an unexpected, patient fight, which was working well early and then didn’t work so well once Ruiz adjusted and Arreola never changed much at all in the fight. It was not a controversial outcome, nobody questions that Ruiz (34-2, 22 KO) won the fight, and it wasn’t a great fight or anything. It’s fine if Arreola wants to bark about one, but unless this sold way better than anyone - including PBC - expected, there’s no rematch reason here.
The FOX PBC broadcast team talking about a rematch is nonsense. Ruiz got a solid if not really spectacular win overChris Arreola, and now it should be on to the next. What could be on tap for the weekend’s winners? Andy Ruiz Jr We had a very busy weekend in boxing, no massive marquee fights, but a lot of interesting developments in various divisions, chiefly at heavyweight where two top 10 contenders picked up wins, one controversial and one not.
