Andy Ruiz: record, next fight and profile →
Eddie Hearn playfully predicted Dillian Whyte’s itinerary for the rest of 2020 and 2021. “Listen, we’ve got Povetkin first,” Hearn said during a recent video interview with the British heavyweight contender for Matchroom Boxing’s YouTube Channel. “Then we want Andy Ruiz and then you’ve gotta fight for the WBC world title.”
Abel Sanchez, the ex-trainer of former unified heavyweight world champion Andy Ruiz, says the Mexican fighter must be watched closely - or else he becomes lazy when it comes to his work ethic. Sanchez was in charge of Ruiz's corner for a short period and worked his corner for the 2016 close points loss to Joseph Parker.
Three division champion Mikey Garcia believes Andy Ruiz made the right decision to align himself with respected trainer Eddy Reynoso. Ruiz reached the very top when he shocked the sport with a seven round stoppage of Anthony Joshua in June 2019 to capture the WBO, IBF, IBO, WBA heavyweight titles at New York's Madison Square Garden.
Andrew Tabiti (17-1) appeared on Mayweather Promotions' Instagram Live stream last week for a fan question and answer session. Mayweather Promotions' CEO Leonard Ellerbe served as the moderator.
Former undisputed heavyweight champion Mike Tyson has given the names of his favorite fighters in the sport - and two-time heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua is not one of them.
Hall of Fame trainer, Ignacio "Nacho" Bertistain, views former unified heavyweight champion Andy Ruiz as a good fighter - despite his physical form. Ruiz created a massive upset back in June of 2019, when he dropped Anthony Joshua four times to secure a seventh round stoppage to capture the IBF, WBA, WBO, IBO world titles at New York's Madison Square Garden.
A union between the first ever heavyweight boxing champion of Mexican descent and arguably the best Mexican coach in the business fittingly was announced Tuesday on Cinco de Mayo. After weeks of public discussion and speculation, Andy Ruiz has named Eddy Reynoso, the 2019 Boxing Writers Association of America Trainer of the Year, as his new head coach.
Heavyweight contender Kubrat Pulev does not believe Anthony Joshua has mentally recovered from his knockout loss at the hands of Andy Ruiz. Back in June of 2019, Joshua was dropped four times and stopped in the seventh round.
Dillian Whyte was flabbergasted when Andy Ruiz Jr. turned down a $5 million offer to fight Whyte in the United States. Whether Whyte gets to fight Ruiz at some point or the former heavyweight champion pursues other opponents, the brash British contender suspects Ruiz’s career will mirror that of the besmirched man who pulled off the biggest upset in boxing history. Whyte compared Ruiz to James “Buster” Douglas during a three-way interview with Sky Sports’ Adam Smith and promoter Eddie Hearn that debuted on Matchroom Boxing’s YouTube channel Wednesday.
Dominic Breazeale knows full well what Andy Ruiz Jr. is capable of doing in a boxing ring. The heavyweight contenders sparred against one another numerous times when they both were trained by Manny Robles. Breazeale can’t help but feel, however, that Ruiz merely was in the right place at the right time when he stopped Anthony Joshua and pulled off one of the biggest upsets in heavyweight history last June 1 at Madison Square Garden in New York.
