Recently, Chris Arreola, Ruiz Jr.’s last opponent, spoke to ES News. Here, he discarded the Mexican-American’s chances against ‘The Gypsy King’.
“Nope, no f**king way. No, like this, it’s easy. It’s a lot easy to punch down than it is to punch up. And you get a lot more leverage punching down than you punching up.” he asserted.
In 2019 Summer, Andy Ruiz Jr. shook the universe by giving Anthony Joshua his first ‘L’. This went down as one of the biggest upsets of the sport, for obvious reasons. ‘Destroyer’ was up to the mark against Joshua in physical terms, but he made life difficult for ‘AJ’ inside the ring.
