Whats next for Andy Ruiz?

[Zelda]

Andy (the destroyer) Ruiz was a no-name when he first fought Joshua. Prior to his AJ fight, he wasn't in most top 10 rankings and would fight for small money. Now he has found fame and relevance but he remains relevant only if he fights decent fighters and shows a good account of himself.

So, what could be his plan now that Ruiz Sr. 3 fight plan seems out of the window.

1. Wilder
2. Ortiz
3. Parker/Povetkin/Whyte
4. Jerell Miller/Kownacki/Hunter

If he immediately fights a lower-level opponent or doesn't look good, his ambitions to a rematch will dwindle to oblivion.

Living the high life, last night was a payday you dream about. I'd guess he takes atleast the next 9 months off.

That's up to him and how hard he's willing to work. He's still a top 5 heavyweight, realistically. Aj has what, a 98% ko ratio? and ruiz has 1 win over him and 1 fight where he had him fighting scared and couldn't knock him out.

One thing is for sure though, i'm never putting money on Ruiz again.

Ortiz, Whyte, Parker 2, Usyk would all be good fights i would like to see.

Usyk vs Ruiz is an interesting fight.

He's with Haymon so you know he'll be in a string of garbage fights. The Haymon way.

Get in shape, British world tour. Problem is that ten mil is gonna make a new man out of him like that Mayweather money did maidana and mcgregor and many before

Explain how not standing still and letting your opponent hit you means you're fighting scared?

Ruiz does not care what's next because he was paid to throw the fight last night, he's been boxing since he was 6 years old and he just realized that getting so fat before the most important fight of his life was a bad idea? To me it looks like, who cares what happens Hearn promised me a 3rd fight against Joshua anyway after Josh boy beats Cruiserweight Usyk. That way Joshua has two easy fights and he can keep ducking wilder and fury.

IF he can work hard again, he can make some money before retiring. Its not easy to stay in shape and in top condition. A lot of boxers lose motivation.
He needs a big target where he's the underdog trying to come back to have some motivation. Whyte could be a good opponent as they both need to get back in shape. Or go back and avenge the Parker loss (if Parker is willing).
