Too much “partying” cost Andy Ruiz his rematch against Joshua in 2019

Following his almost unprecedented win against Joshua in 2019, Andy Ruiz recognized what went wrong with him. According to Ruiz, he became too excited after he defeated Joshua in June 2019. Here is what went wrong according to him.

The win against Joshua was one of the biggest victories Andy Ruiz could ever receive in his boxing life. After he defeated ‘AJ’ in June 2019, Ruiz jr. entertained himself with “too much partying.”

The thought of a rematch had left his very mind.

“I was excited, I was waiting 29 years for that to happen and I enjoyed it too much. I did too much partying. They brought me here, they brought me somewhere else and time went by in a flash. I wasn’t thinking that I had to train, that there would be a rematch,” later expressed a regretful Andy Ruiz.
