It has to happen. The time has finally come. The long and boring title tenure of John Ruiz is about to end.
On April 30th in New York's Madison Square Garden, Ruiz will take on James Toney. The W.B.A. heavyweight title that Ruiz has held for several unexciting years will be on the line.

Roy decided to give up the "title" to return to the light heavyweight division. Ruiz was able to again "reclaim" the championship. [details (http://www.boxingscene.com/?m=show&id=926)]
