I'm OK with this fight for Ruiz coming off the AJ Fight! Go head and retire Charr and take that Bull**** WBA Belt away from him which he has been holding hostage for a long time now. Unfortunately he will probably have to defend it against a very old Fres Oquendo next but hey in this ERA a Belt Is A Belt I guess
I welcome this news if true. Andy Ruiz is a very good fighter, a legit contender at Heavyweight when he is in-shape and motivated. He could bring the "WBA Regular" back into contention as an active "Wurl'" title. It is the next best bargaining chip outside of Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua's titles right now, so why not? Could lead to an interesting mini-league being set up below the big two.. Ruiz would be a "two-time Wurl' champion", and we could get palookas like Dereck Chisora and David Price in with a real shot of winning a "Wurl'" title.
Chisora is much better than Price, but I get your point.
We would have interesting B league for "regular WBA title", competing guys like Chisora, Helenius, Kownacki, Martin..

Well Ruiz would be a less fraudulent fake belt holder than Charr, at least.
I hate that stupid Regular belt, though. They actually wrapped a "world" heavyweight title belt around the likes of Charr and Lucas Browne. Those guys make Charles Martin and Tony Tucker look like real champions.
