The maiden heavyweight champion from Mexico was all set to land the unexpected clash with Tyrone Spong on July 16 in Mexico. However, it barely took a week, and another opponent has entered into the mix.

According to Mike Coppinger of ESPN, the boxing sensation that pulled the biggest upset by thrashing British star Anthony Joshua is now going to face Luis Ortiz.

Coppinger wrote, “Andy Ruiz Jr. will fight Luis Ortiz next in a PBC heavyweight bout rather than Tyrone Spong despite a Triller announcement Wednesday of a July 16 bout in Mexico City. The ex-heavyweight champ signed to fight Ortiz before he signed to fight Spong.”

According to IntuBoxing, the former WBA interim heavyweight titleholder, Luis Ortiz has labeled ‘The Destroyer’ as a coward for turning his back on him and taking a shot against Tyrone Spong.

However, Ruiz Jr is again going back to Ortiz after making headlines about facing Spong this summer.

Few more fans added their remark to it

Another fan recalled the biggest shot of ‘The Destroyer’ that made him star, his seventh-round knockout victory against Anthony Joshua. This fan labeled Ruiz Jr as a ‘one-hit wonder’ because, since then, the latter has not taken to any title fight and remained inactive most of the time.

Another Twitter user is of the opinion that Ruiz has no interest in his boxing career. Undoubtedly, if the career of Ruiz will go like this, he will have to get ready for such brutal remarks.
