Ahead of the Middle East clash Ruiz vowed to improve physically and looked to have kept to his word after releasing pictures online looking in trimmer frame.
And despite saying the Snickers lover tricked fans into thinking he had slimmed down, promoter Hearn wants the champion to lose another TWO STONE, to give Joshua an advantage.
He told talkSPORT: Its a dangerous move to start taking weight off, in my opinion. I love it. I hope he loses another two stone.
Joshua is very focused. It all comes down to the night. This time Anthony will be 100 per cent ready for Andy Ruiz.

We still have to execute the game plan and win the fight. Its one month today and its the biggest fight of the year.
Its one of the biggest fights of our generation in terms of heavyweight fights and heavyweight rematches.
Ruiz claimed he had only lost 3lbs since his Madison Square Garden victory on June 1, having weighed in at 268lbs for the world title fight.
And speaking to iFL TV the 30-year-old revealed he only wants to lose another 5lbs before making the first defence of his WBA, IBF and WBO belts.

Ruiz said: : Right now its three pounds less (than the first fight with Joshua), I weighed in at 268 I think for Anthony Joshua fight - the first one and Im planning to be at 260 for this fight.
I dont want to lose too much because I want to be strong, I want to feel good for December 7.
A lot of people have been messaging me: Hey dont lose too much weight, hey youre going to be weak, I listen what we do inside the gym - we know what were doing and what were doing it for.
