Former heavyweight champion Andy Ruiz is set to face Jarrell 'Big Baby' Miller on August 3 in Los Angeles, as confirmed by sources. The fight will be part of the Terence Crawford-Israil Madrimov undercard presented by Riyadh Season, marking Saudi Arabia's first boxing event outside the kingdom.
Ruiz, with a record of 35-2 and 22 KOs, will be stepping into the ring for the first time since September 2022 when he secured a unanimous-decision victory over Luis Ortiz. The 34-year-old fighter earned his shot at then-champion Anthony Joshua in June 2019 after Miller was disqualified due to a failed doping test. Ruiz went on to lose his three heavyweight titles in a rematch with Joshua in December of the same year, which was a historic event held in Saudi Arabia.
