In interaction with Fighter’s voice, ‘The Destroyer’ labeled a few parameters that he would always follow on his boxing journey.

“Not taking anything for granted you know and working hard when you have something, try so hard not to let it go and just never stop believing in yourself. But yeah, when you have something to hold on to it as long as you can and I feel that’s what I did wrong,” said Andy Ruiz Jr.
