Andy Ruiz Jr shows off weight loss as heavyweight prepares for ring return

Andy Ruiz Jr is on the verge of developing abs if a clip taken from a behind-the-scenes Fox Sports photoshoot is to be believed.

The American has fought just once since he lost his belts to Anthony Joshua in December 2019, and faces a tough test after over a year of inactivity against Luis Ortiz on Sunday night. He recently claimed to be around the same weight that he was when he faced Joshua for the first time although recent footage shows him looking much more trim.

Ruiz made waves when he appeared in mainstream consciousness for the first time against Joshua looking pudgy and out-of-shape before knocking out the then-unbeaten world heavyweight champion. He showed off fast hands and an impressive chin on his way to becoming the first heavyweight champion of Mexican descent and earning millions of fans worldwide.
