Andy Ruiz Jr. recently displayed his best shape ever on social media while waiting for fight news. He has fought only three times since his surprising win over Anthony Joshua in 2019. One of those fights was a rematch loss, where he lost his titles due to poor conditioning. In 2021 and 2022, Ruiz Jr defeated Chris Arreola and Luis Ortiz, respectively. He now aims to win a world title, specifically the WBC crown held by Tyson Fury.

However, ‘The Gypsy King’ says Ruiz Jr priced himself too high for a fight, causing talks to stall. This has left Ruiz Jr. without a scheduled fight for this year. Thus, he is training hard, preparing to grab the best challenge next. A recent video of him training has garnered peculiar attention from fans. In this video, the ‘Destroyer’ has allegedly sped up his training to give an illusion of speed improvement.
