The heavyweight division was put into a state of flux when WBO/WBA/IBO champion Tyson Fury relinquished his titles after testing positive for cocaine.

Andy Ruiz (29-0, 19KOs) admits that he was surprised to hear that he rattled the jaw of Joseph Parker (21-0, 18KOs) so bad in sparring, that the New Zealand fighter was unable to properly eat for three days.

The potential fight between undefeated heavyweights Andy Ruiz and Joseph Parker hangs in the balance this coming week. According to Parker's promoter, Dean Lonergan of Duco Events, he spoke with Ruiz's promoter Bob Arum of Top Rank - and they both agreed that Parker-Ruiz would not happen without the WBO heavyweight title at stake.

There is a lot of discussion over a heavyweight bout between Andy Ruiz and Joseph Parker (21-0, 18KOs), which could be contested for the vacant WBO title. And as he prepares for this fight, the 27-year old Ruiz - who has battled the bulge rather unsuccessfully in the past - is back up in Big Bear, California with trainer Abel Sanchez, who is best known for his work with middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin.
