Before coming across ‘The Destroyer,’ Joshua was undefeated in his pro run. That said, Ruiz Jr.’s coach, Eddy Reynoso, believes that the Mexican will return to winning ways in 2020. Reynoso is one of the best in the business. Thus, his recent statement cannot be ruled out.

“I had a talk with his dad and his lawyers last week, to see what plans there were. He has a fight taking place in December. We hope to prepare well, to combine well what he wants from boxing with what I can contribute to that.

Reynoso is a new addition to Ruiz Jr.’s squad, and it can be highly beneficial for him. Considering Reynoso’s experience with Canelo Alvarez and Ryan Garcia, he can probably work his magic on Andy Ruiz too. Thus, parting ways with his former trainer Manny Robles might be a good thing.
