Andy Ruiz Junior has expressed supreme confidence in his ability to beat Kiwi Joseph Parker in a potential world title fight in Auckland in December. A scrap against 27-year-old Ruiz Jr is almost guaranteed to be exciting going by the undefeated Mexican-American's style and recent comments. "I was kind of surprised [to hear that] because it didn't seem like he was really hurt in the sparring," Ruiz Jr said. "This is the best fight I could have for the world title." Ruiz Jr talked about fighting in Auckland on December 27, but Parker's promoters Duco Events will be pushing for a bout earlier in the month.
