Anthony Joshua believes he will beat Andy Ruiz Jr nine times out of 10 and is very confident of a revenge triumph in their rematch.
Ruiz shocked the world when he stopped AJ earlier this year, but the Brit has now activated a contractual clause to ensure they will meet again.
Latest reports suggest the second fight will take place on December 7 or 14 with Riyadh, Saudi Arabia as the frontrunner to host.
First time around, Joshua floored the challenger before then being put down four times himself, causing the referee to call a half to the contest in round seven.
However, the dethroned champion told JD Sports: “If you put me and Ruiz in a machine, nine times out of ten I should beat him. That was just his night.
“He got the win and we get to do it again at the end of the year.”
Many of AJ’s heavyweight rivals took their opportunities to rub salt into the wounds following his defeat.
The likes of Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder sent insults his way.
However the Brit has warned them not to count him out after one loss.
Joshua continued: “I’ve taken Ls. I know how to fight and I know I’ll beat most of these top heavyweights.
“The day I stop is the day they shouldn’t fear me.
“But until then, just know I’m knocking on everyone’s door and I’m coming. I’ve done it once, I can do it again.
“I’ve won, I’ve unified the division twice, become heavyweight champion.
“I’ve been put on my back, I’ve lost.
“I’m an experienced fighter, so we’ll see what more I have to give.”
