Andy Ruiz Jr. created history and became the first-ever Mexican heavyweight champion by defeating an unbeaten Anthony Joshua in June 2019. However, he lost the titles in an immediate re-match six months later, and that’s when he shifted his stable to shake hands with Eddy Reynoso, and P4P king Canelo Alvarez.
Since losing against Joshua, Ruiz Jr. hasn’t faced anybody. However, he is eyeing a return and under a new training chief in Eddy Reynoso, the Mexican heavyweight has undergone some serious changes. Starting from the weight loss to new drills, it has been a unique camp for Ruiz Jr.
That said, ‘The Destroyer’ has recently connected with Little Giant Boxing from the gym to reveal how he met Eddy Reynoso and Canelo Alvarez.

The former heavyweight champion said, “I even messaged them and told them after I lost against Anthony Joshua. I told them that I wanted to make a difference, and I wanted to make a change. So, I told him (Canelo), if he could bring me, where he is at. So, I am under his wing, you know.”
