Follow Us
In the 2019 summer, Andy Ruiz Jr. took the boxing world by storm after he battered the stout heavyweight Anthony Joshua. That fight went down as one of the biggest upsets in the sport, leaving a huge blemish on ‘AJ’s prolonged boxing stint. However, Ruiz Jr. became an overnight star with that win and subsequently rose to gigantic stardom.
Unfortunately, the ‘Destroyer’ couldn’t continue the momentum as he ended up on the losing vertical in the rematch with his foe. Post that, he didn’t step inside the boxing ring, but underwent a serious physical transformation.
Ruiz Jr. lost a lot of mass to get in his best shape. Talking about his transformation, he said, “I feel amazing. I can do better stuff that I couldn’t do before because of my big gut. I had t**s that wouldn’t let me throw the right punches.”
