Andy Ruiz Jr says he’s ‘ready’ to face Tyson Fury as he shares training clips
Andy Ruiz Jr insists he is ‘ready’ to face Tyson Fury.
The Mexican-American boxer has not fought since losing to Anthony Joshua in Saudi Arabia in December.
During that time, Fury knocked out Deontay Wilder in a pulsating rematch in Las Vegas last month.
And Ruiz Jr has thrown his name into the hat to take on Fury next.
He told PBC Fox: “I think Tyson Fury did an awesome job. He did everything that he had and his ability, his long reach and all that and he’s the man right now.
“I had flashbacks to my fight [with Joshua] on June 1. It was kind of similar, it was in the same round as well so it was pretty crazy but good for Tyson Fury.
“I think Tyson Fury did what he had to do, he stuck to the game plan. I’m pretty sure he could do it again and I could do it too so, if they pick me, I’m here and I’m ready.”
Ruiz Jr admits he thought Wilder would beat Fury though.
He added: “He [Fury] did [use his height advantage] and after that hit in the ear, he never recovered from that.
“His [Wilder] legs were weak, they were wobbly, even other punches that he tried to throw, and they didn’t have a lot of power so I think Tyson Fury did an awesome job.
“I was really shocked because I thought Deontay Wilder was going to win. I just want a shot with Tyson Fury as well.”
On Saturday, Ruiz Jr uploaded a clip of him training in a gym with the caption: “Good morning Instagram, let’s get to these belts. #Nodaysoff.”
