Thread: Are we still having Ruiz v Wilder or no?

This fight was teased and a possible date set, but heard nothing else about it. Is this fight still happening?

It seems like it has not been mentioned again. Wilder seems to be waiting until December for the Saudi tournament and Ruiz was mentioned as a possible summer opponent for Fury.

Ok... so Wilder v Ruiz is off. Bummer... I wanted to see that.

We may see Tyson Fury v Ruiz in the summer and even Wilder v AJ later in the year.

I have little faith in the older 'guard' of heavyweights right now. Fury AJ and Wilder to be specific. Wilder has won arguably no more than 3 rounds over the last 3.5 years. Not fights...rounds. And AJ says he's out until December after laying an egg last time out. Wilder v Ruiz is a perfect fight and seemingly easy to make but I think they're going to try to shortcut to Usyk. Dubois may injure a hand in training and step aside. Boxing shenanigans are in high gear with Wilder being propelled into mandatory. For doing not so much at all. It feels like we have a number of under the radar willing and active hungrier fighters, some younger and some older, bubbling up now and the trio in particular are just timing out their careers.
