Former unified heavyweight champion, Andy Ruiz Jr., will return to action soon. He is rumored to fight Chris Arreola on his comeback as he seeks to revive himself in the heavyweight title picture. This will be an interesting battle, as he will battle someone from his past.

A decade ago, Andy Ruiz Jr. and Chris Arreola weren’t the superstars of the sport. But, they had begun to craft their way, and ‘The Destroyer’ had opened up on his views over Arreola in an interview.

ES News brought the throwback video where Ruiz Jr. spoke about his “friend” Arreola. The Mexican praised his sparring partner for several reasons, but also saw a loophole in his game.

Andy Ruiz Jr. said, “Chris Arreola is a very good friend of mine, Like we were sparring and all that.”

He commented on Arreola’s fight against Klitschko, “Chris Arreola was doing good. He just needs a little more head movement, but I give my friend a lot of props and he got ba** and all that, just a little more head movement.”
