AJ and his promotor Eddie Hearn triggered the automatic rematch clause almost immediately after Ruiz shocked the world on June 1 with his TKO win at Madison Square Garden in New York City. Joshua will have the opportunity to win back his WBA, WBO and IBF titles in what should be another fight of the year bout.

The British superstar was the favorite to win the rematch when lines initially came out earlier this summer, and remains the favorite as of now at -240 according to William Hill. Ruiz is currently +200 to defend his heavyweight crown.

The odds will hardly matter to fans of Ruiz, who was as an underdog by as much as a 25-1 at some books before the first scrap. A win for either Joshua or Ruiz could open the door for a number of potential fights with WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder and lineal heavyweight champion Tyson Fury in mid-to-late 2020.
