JAKARTA The famous boxing promoter Eddie Hearn confirmed that boxer Tyson Fury will defend the WBC heavyweight title against Andy Ruiz Jr on July 22.

This is an important duel that Fury (33-0-1, 24 KO) must win before he faces Anthony Joshua or IBF, WBA, and WBO champions Oleksandr Usyk in December.

"Andy Ruiz, July 22," Hearn told Boxing King Media when asked about Tyson Fury's fight next summer.

Fury has not been in the ring since December when he beat Derek Chisora and extended his unbeaten record to 34 fights.

The boxer nicknamed King OfTEN was previously associated with a heavyweight fight against Oleksandr Usyk. However, negotiations for the unification duel for all the heavyweight titles failed.

After negotiations with Usyk resulted in nothing, Fury now appears to be taking a big risk against former IBF champion, WBA & WBO, Ruiz (35-2, 22 KO).

This is a much tougher match for Fury when compared to previous matches against boxers from England, Derek Chisora and Dillian Whyte.

Ruiz fights at a higher level than can be seen from Deontay Wilder in three of his fights against Fury. The speed of the hand, the combination of punches, and Ruiz's strength can give Fury difficulty.
