Former WBA, IBO, IBF, WBO world heavyweight champion Andy Ruiz returned to training this week to start getting in shape, with the possibility of a fight for the month of September.

Ruiz has been inactive since December 2019, when he lost his world titles by way of a twelve round unanimous decision at the hands of Anthony Joshua in Saudi Arabia. Six months earlier, Ruiz stopped Joshua in seven rounds to capture the belts in a major shocker.

The return of Mexico's first heavyweight champion has been delayed by the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
