Andy Ruiz Jr. is yet to achieve anything spectacular since losing his heavyweight titles to Anthony Joshua in 2019. He outworked Chris Arreola on his returning bout via decision. But the lackluster performance doesn’t verify his top-tier credibility in the looming heavyweight division unless ‘The Destroyer’ claims a lopsided victory.
The Mexican power-house doesn’t have an official fight on board at the moment. However, he seems to be enjoying his life pretty well. Ruiz Jr. has always been flamboyant and expressive towards his financial blessings.

From flaunting cars to mansions, especially after beating Anthony Joshua in their first fight, Ruiz Jr. emerged as one of the best underdog stories in the sport. That said, he continues to retain that flamboyant aura even now. The heavyweight star recently posted a picture of his shoes, with his face printed on it.
The particular post garnered mixed reactions from the netizens. While a few months back ‘The Destroyer’ had inked his butt, imprinting his face on a pair of shoes clearly falls on the list of Andy Ruiz Jr’s uncanny stunts. Here’s how people reacted to the post.
Bro, why would you put such a honourable face on a SHOE which collects dust. pic.twitter.com/tqpOc0haXo

Ruiz Jr. is the first-ever Mexican boxer to have earned a heavyweight world title in boxing. That said, he holds an alluring pro-record of 34-2 with 22 KOs. Besides, none of Ruiz Jr’s opponents could stop him in the ring.
He shall return shortly this year and go against a heavyweight superstar. A few weeks back, Deontay Wilder was being rumored as a perfect opponent for Ruiz Jr. Therefore, fans are far from seeing the end of Andy Ruiz Jr., at least for now.

Almost no one had envisioned Andy Ruiz Jr. beating ‘AJ’ when the duo collided for the first time. Joshua was unbeaten back then and was on an invincible run. Joshua reflected a similar aura in the fight by starting to dominate his Mexican rival. However, Ruiz Jr. shocked the world by putting AJ to the canvas and closed the show with a sensational 7 round stoppage.

Therefore, it’s unfair to write off ‘The Destroyer’ from any matchup. But he shall register a dominant performance because the division is currently stacked with prominent champions and top-tier contenders.
