Re: Who should AJ fight next?
When asked whether he would be interested in a trilogy between AJ and Ruiz, Hearn told iFL TV: "It's 1-1, the first fight was nuts, the second fight was a shutout but Andy Ruiz is a great fighter.
"I see Andy Ruiz as someone that can beat Wilder, I really do. I think he's got the IQ to beat him.
"Obviously we know how hard Wilder punches, he's so exciting and dangerous. It's a brilliant fight, I guess that will happen early next year.
"I can't lie the Wilder vs AJ fight is a much bigger fight than the Ruiz trilogy in my opinion but we'll see what happens."
He added: "We messaged them [Wilder's team] in August and they came back at the beginning of November saying 'we'd be up for talking about the fight' to which I said 'we'll come back to you'.
"We've got meetings in the Middle East early next week and that's the kind of fight they would obviously love to acquire.
"But after the Ruiz fight was ordered at the convention, there hasn't been a lot of conversation, no."
Joshua seemed confident that a fight with Wilder is on the cards.
AJ said: "Now he's on a resurgence, I think he's realising, he's said he's got three years left so he wants to tick off his hit-list. Yeah, it'll happen now."

Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
