The music artist spoke to LatinBeastTV on YouTube and addressed their link-up. He said, “I was tripping because I didn’t think he was going to pull up, like… you know. Like, I talked to him but, I was like, ‘oh sh*t, he’s f***ing with me, he’s cool, and sh*t, he’s typed in.’”

Thus, this comment showed how much respect he had for the first Mexican-American champion. He then admitted, “But you know, you never think like, well he was, he’s a champion, you know what I’m saying. I was like, damn! A champ, tapped in. And that’s thanks to you.”

Ruiz Jr. claimed he was open to face former heavyweight champion, Deontay Wilder. However, since Wilder will now face Tyson Fury in a trilogy, things have changed, and Ruiz Jr. will now look elsewhere.

Fans would love to see a bout against British heavyweight Dillian Whyte. The pair have had several verbal battles in the past, and it would be for the mandatory position in the WBC.
