“12 Rounds of Hugging”: Fans Don’t Hold Back After Andy Ruiz Jr. Hints at a Potential Fight With Tyson Fury

The heavyweight division in boxing is once again heating up, with former heavyweight champion Andy Ruiz Jr. hinting at a potential bout with WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury. Ruiz burst onto the scene in 2019 when he shocked the world by defeating then-heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua. Many experts had written Ruiz off before the fight. However, he proved them wrong by knocking Joshua down four times and claiming victory. Despite his sensational upset, in the rematch, Ruiz was unable to repeat his success and lost to Joshua via unanimous decision.

Despite this setback, Ruiz remains a formidable opponent for any heavyweight boxer. He possesses incredible speed and power, as well as an unorthodox fighting style that can catch opponents off guard. However, he will be gearing up for the biggest challenge of his career in ‘The Gypsy King’. Fury recently hinted that he has something big planned for the coming months and now Ruiz has more or less confirmed he will face the undefeated boxer next. The Mexican took to Instagram and shared a story announcing the talks for a bout with Fury.

This was not all as the announcement of the Fury vs Ruiz Jr. fight has sparked a lot of excitement among boxing fans around the world. Many are looking forward to seeing these two heavyweights face off and believe it will be an entertaining bout. Moreover, they shared their thoughts on the potential fight reacting to the announcement.

Fans go wild as Andy Ruiz Jr. hints potential fight with Tyson Fury

A user saw this fight as no more than a hugging contest over 12 rounds.

Another user was surprised that Fury might choose to fight Ruiz instead of unified champion Oleksandr Usyk.

Moreover, a user even went as far as trying to boycott the fight due to the fight with Usyk not being made.

However, one user defended this matchup and thought it was a good fight for Fury. He claimed that Ruiz Jr. was the mandatory challenger for the WBC title and other fighters like Joshua and Deontay Wilder won’t fight till December.

Lastly, a user named Ross Barkley thought that this fight would prove to be an easy outing for Fury.

Overall, the majority of fans seem to be excited about the fight and are looking forward to seeing how it plays out. While Fury is the clear favorite, boxing is a sport that can be unpredictable at times. Ruiz Jr. has already proven that he can defeat a heavyweight champion, and he will be eager to add Fury’s name to his list of conquests.
