It appears that many in the boxing world consider this potential bout with Ruiz as a “prep” for Fury ahead of his unification bout. But the former trainer of the ‘Destroyer’ shared his two-piece on this. Manny Robles is the former trainer of Ruiz who does not think Ruiz is the type of boxer that can be overlooked.
Manny Robles in an interview for iFL TV stated, “It sounds like they’re getting way ahead of themselves and they’re looking at Andy as a tune up” Robbles suggests Fury not approach the fight like that. He stated, “Andy is not a tune-up. You see what happened to Joshua. They thought it was a prep fight and he ended up getting knocked out.”
