Lennox Lewis has dismissed Andy Ruiz Jr's 'excuse' for losing his rematch with Anthony Joshua on Saturday night.
The Brit outboxed his Mexican-American opponent over 12 rounds to reclaim the heavyweight world titles he lost by knockout back in June.

In the aftermath, Ruiz Jr claimed that he'd spent too much time celebrating his victory and not enough time training to retain his titles in the rematch.
As a result, he came in heavy at over 20 stone and was unable to catch up to AJ second time around.
This explanation hasn't gone down well in all boxing circles, with Joshua himself having already responded.

Now, Lennox has replied and said: "Just saw Andy Ruiz Jr saying not being fully prepared and in shape for rematch could have happened to anyone.
"Not true. That’s a bad excuse.
"One person was serious about those belts and the other wasn’t. Simple as that!"
Just saw @Andy_destroyer1 saying not being fully prepared and in shape for rematch could have happened to anyone. 🤦🏾♂️ Not true. That’s a bad excuse. One person was serious about those belts and the other wasn’t. Simple as that!
