Weight Loss:
It began last spring with Ruiz, lost, despondent and tipping the scales at 310 pounds. In the span of a little over a year, he’d gone from extreme underdog to unified heavyweight champion, only to lose the title in an equally spectacular moment of self-destruction that kept on spiraling. Kneeling by the side of his bed, he asked God to show him the light.
Record:
Ruiz (33-2, 22 KOs) last fought in December 2019 when he came up short in defense of his WBA (Super), IBF, WBO and IBO heavyweight titles against Anthony Joshua.
