      He just doesn't care about boxing.

        What baffles me the most is he’s realistically a Parker level guy if that so B on a good day/C tier type who never capitalised on his lucky break, so It's beyond comprehension that Fury,Wilder, AJ and Zhang's team have all said this guy is pricing himself out of fights.

        Where has this ego or sense of self worth come from!? because he certainly hasn't done anything to demand the numbers he was allegedly asking for.

            OH I wonder if that's it, we can only speculate at this point.

              Yep, Andy is a mess.

              I also heard he's getting ready to transition and become "Andrea Ruiz!"

              Maybe he can sign to fight Claressa Shields soon afterwards!

                Ruiz is done. A cash-out fight and maybe a couple of questionable losses to up comers and he's out.

                  There's just a bit too much money in the HW division.

                    Calling a 40 year old a fast rising heavyweight tells you all you need to know about the state of the heavyweight division. At least Zhang wants to actually fight.

                      Ruiz is hard to negotiate with these days. The good life till the money gets low we can imagine.

                      Deontay Wilder and his team tried Very hard to pull Andy into the ring with Wilder (In what would have been a great match up for the US title), to no avail. Here is Ruiz again pricing himself out a another highly relevant fight between top tier contenders.

                      Parker, I beleive will be Very lucky to get past hard hitting, amateur pedigreed Simon Kean this month, so Zhilei Zhang, Mr. Step up 2023, is still seeking a bonified stay active opponent.
                      Why not one of the more solid Australian or New Zealand fringe contenders? This for the Asian-Pacific title.

                      I'm a huge believer in replacing today's fake "world" titles with national/regional championships as promotional hooks.
