On May 1, 2022, Beijing time, according to ESPN TV's Mexico channel, former WBA, IBF, WBO, IBO heavyweight world boxer Andy Ruiz Jr., nicknamed "Little Fat", has changed his plans for the next match. On August 13, 2022, he will play against former WBA heavyweight world transition boxer Luis Otiz, nicknamed "King Kong", at the Staples Sports Center in Los Angeles, USA. This news has been confirmed by the father of Andy Ruiz Jr.
It is reported that After signing with the streaming platform Triller, Andy Ruiz Jr. was originally going to play a live match on this platform on July 16, and the opponent had been selected as the former K-1, Glory superstar Tyrone Spong, but after the plan for the game was issued, it was immediately met with strong protests from the Luis Otiz team.
Citing a previous framework agreement with Andy Ruiz Jr., the Luis Otiz team asked Andy Ruiz Jr. to follow the agreement to play against Luis Otiz first and then against Tyrone Spence. And Louis Otiz, who has always been very low-key, has also publicly spat and ridiculed Andy Ruiz Jr. in a television interview.
After Louis Otiz's public statement, Triller took it seriously. After weighing the relationship (Triller is a new force in professional boxing and needs to take care of all aspects of the feelings), Triller makes concessions, willing to postpone the match between Andy Ruiz Jr. and Tyrone Spence to make way for Luis Otiz against Andy Ruiz Jr.
With the accommodation and assurance of the Triller platform, Andy Ruiz Jr. re-engaged in negotiations with Luis Otiz and finalized the showdown involving two former heavyweight world boxers on August 13.
Louis Ortiz, 43, currently has a professional record of 33 wins and 2 losses, with 28 KO opponents. Although the best result was only to win the WBA's heavyweight transitional boxing title, no one in the heavyweight class dared to despise his strength. Before Tyson Fury, Louis Otiz was the only boxer who dared to fight former WBC heavyweight world champion Deonta Wilde twice (Bermaña Stevenne's second match was a save, not counted), and before Tyson Fury, Luis Otiz was also the closest to knocking down Deonta Wild. In January of this year, Luis Otiz also had a ups and downs match with former IBF heavyweight world champion Charles Martin, in which Louis Otiz, who was knocked down twice, staged a reversal in the sixth round, and finally TKO Charles Martin, who won the reverse.
In the match against Charles Martin, Luis Otiz also suffered and began a long break. However, judging from the current reaction of Luis Otiz, his body has been restored and he can already take on the match of Andy Ruiz Jr. on August 13.
Andy Ruiz Jr., 32, is also good at playing headwinds, and in the match against former world boxing champion Anthony Joshua, Andy Ruiz Jr. is also knocked down four times by Anthony Joshua in the unfavorable situation of being knocked down once, achieving a reversal. In May, Andy Ruiz Jr. played against his veteran, the Mexican-American boxer Chris Areola, in which Andy Ruiz Jr. was again at a disadvantage, having been knocked down once in the second leg of the match, but fortunately Andy Ruiz Jr. quickly took control of the situation and won the match.
Although Neither Andy Ruiz Jr. nor Luis Otiz currently have the title of World Champion, considering the style of play of these two boxers, I am still looking forward to the match on August 13, and I believe that the two boxers will dedicate a fist-to-flesh fierce duel.
