Last month, the former heavyweight champion of the world, Andy Ruiz Jr., went for right knee surgery. Prior to getting his right knee operated on, Ruiz Jr. struggled for years. Now, as he has recovered from the same, he is back in the gym, finding his old momentum.

Recently, ESNEWS shared a video on its YouTube channel, wherein Ruiz Jr. was seen working extensively on his overall physique. Earlier, the Mexican-American boxer had a gigantic frame, but he underwent a serious transformation over the past couple of years to lose a significant amount of weight.

In the above video, the ‘Destroyer’ can be seen taking up activities which he wasn’t able to do with his colossal frame. Also, the secret sauce to his transformation is the intense workouts he took up in the past few years. Alongside his diet, he focused tremendously on losing those calories through which he attained a solid physique.

However, with that, Ruiz Jr. lost the crucifying punching power that helped him pull off an upset against Anthony Joshua in 2019.

In his last fight, ‘Destroyer’ met the fellow veteran, Chris Arreola. Fans expected this fight to end in a flash as they felt a transformed Ruiz Jr. would batter Arreola. But the actual fight shook everyone as Ruiz Jr. went on the canvas in the second round itself.

He still continued to fight after that vicious knockdown and won the fight with a unanimous decision. Despite that, the former champ failed to allure his supporters.
