ANDY RUIZ JR dished out a warning to Anthony Joshua that he’s ready for business after launching a left hook in the belly of his mate.
The Mexican has stepped up his training as he plots to stun the Brit for a second time when they meet in Saudi Arabia on December 7.

After knocking out Joshua in that stunning fight in April, the WBA, IBF and WBO heavyweight world champion proved he still has lightning quick hand speed.
Ruiz Jr is engaging in some light pad work with his mate known as Zo in the living room of a house.
Zo throws a number of combos on to Ruiz’s pads – but the Mexican can’t resist throwing one of his own.
He leaves his body open and the champ launches one of his powerful left-hooks.
It catches him flush and leaves him winded as he takes a couple of steps backwards.
AJ will still have nightmares about those left hooks that left him on the canvas on two different occasions in the seventh round.
But despite the upset, the Brit remains massive favourite to win back his belts with the bookies.
Ladbrokes, William Hill and Betfair have all priced a Joshua win at 4/11, with Ruiz somewhat surprisingly 11/5 to retain.
Tyson Fury doesn’t agree and revealed that he is “one million per cent” confident the Mexican will shock the bookies for a second time in Saudi Arabia.
And former two-weight world champ David Haye has stated that AJ could suffer from flashbacks in his December rematch.
