Mike Tyson has warned Anthony Joshua he will not beat Andy Ruiz Jr in a rematch if he does not fully commit himself to boxing.
Joshua is set to seek immediate revenge over Ruiz Jr after losing his world titles to the Mexican in a shock defeat last May in New York.
Tyson himself was on the wrong end of some upset victories, including his 1990 loss to Buster Douglas, and the former heavyweight champion insisted Joshua needs to get his mind right before agreeing a rematch.
He made a mistake, got hurt, and s*** happens, he said on his podcast.

His minds gotta be right, hes gotta dedicate his life to doing this.
