What happened to Andy Ruiz Jr after the rematch with Anthony Joshua?

The Mexican-American rose to the heights of fame around 2019 when he shocked the boxing world in the biggest upset of the year by thrashing, then unified champion Anthony Joshua and became the first male heavyweight champion with Mexican heritage.

However, it was short-lived as a few months later, in the mandatory rematch, Joshua returned, all-guns-blazing and outboxed the champion and clinched his titles back.

It was a big disappointment for ‘Destroyer’. According to Ruiz Jr, he lost the fight because he remained distracted while Joshua was training hard.

Later, He joined the camp of renowned trainer Eddy Reynoso in May 2020 and a year later he collided with Chris Arreola. Under the wings of four-weight division champ, Canelo Alvarez’s coach, Reynoso, he stepped back in the ring in the best shape of his career on May 2, 2021.

Though the battle was tough in the initial rounds, the Mexican emerged victoriously. He got knocked out in the second round, showed warrior spirit fought back, and earned the judge’s score in his favor.
