Andy Ruiz Jr., the former heavyweight champion, has honed himself with some additional skills in his new stable and seems ready to enter the ring. Following his title loss to Anthony Joshua in a rematch, the Mexican hasn’t fought yet.

However, his comeback can be alluring, especially after he has had to shed some serious weight. Fans labeled Ruiz Jr. to be overweight, but we might see him in a new avatar, considering his recent physical get-up.
Meanwhile, it still raises some questions on how much weight ‘The Destroyer’ has lost. A picture of Ruiz Jr. clicking a selfie has made rounds over the internet. He looks extremely shredded with no body-fat on the belly. Hence, there’s no denying that he has undergone a major transformation.

However, it can be deceptive due to the bird’s-eye angle. ESPN Ringside has posted a couple of his pictures and has contrasted them. While a bare body Ruiz Jr. looks very different, another picture sites very minimal changes in his outlook. Thus, it’s safe to say that the camera angle might have played a minor role in framing Ruiz Jr’s new physique in the eyes of fans.
