Andy Ruiz Jr shows off new slim figure ahead of heavyweight's ring return

Andy Ruiz Jr has shown off a new trimmed physique ahead of his heavyweight return against Luis Ortiz.

The Mexican hasn't fought since labouring to victory against Chris Arreola last May in what was his first fight since losing to Anthony Joshua in 2019. Ruiz Jr was rumoured to be stepping back in the ring with Tyrone Spong in July as part of boxing promotion Triller's latest fight card.

However he is now preparing for the challenge of Ortiz in September, and has shown off his remarkable weight loss. Ruiz Jr can be seen in the footage working on his posture during a session, where he looks significantly lighter than in his previous victory. Fans commented in their droves about his physique with one remarking: "Who is that??? No way that’s Andy Ruiz."
