Fight fans are not just invested in witnessing bouts inside the square circle but also in the day-to-day affairs of the fighters themselves. Recently, they were stunned to witness Andy Ruiz appear leaner than he has ever been in a viral picture. Although Ruiz has been boxing for a long time, his claim to prominence came when he defeated Anthony Joshua in 2019 via a stoppage.

Since his claim to the heavyweight championship, which he subsequently lost, the fighter has been a household name in the sport. Subsequently, he receives a lot of scrutiny with regard to his physique. And in a recent picture, which has been making rounds in the boxing world, Ruiz looks like he can fight in the “middleweight division”. The fans were quick to notice and could not help themselves but make their reactions public.

A fan named Robert Ray recognizes him as the guy who handed Joshua his first defeat. He stated, “The one dude who changed Anthony Joshua”

One fan finds this image to not be an accurate representation. He stated, “Photoshop….he had similar pictures before the rematch with Anthony Joshua only to show up looking like Big Pun.”
