Former world heavyweight champion Andy "Chubby" Ruiz Jr. will face another tough test of his career this week against Jarrell Miller, known as "Big Baby", in what will be Ruiz's first bout after a 23-month absence from the Circle. How much is left?
As the countdown to the fight continues, Ruiz reveals the secret of becoming a boxing champion, and the results are very interesting. As we all know, Ruiz completely rewrote boxing history by finishing Anthony Joshua in 2019 to win three heavyweight belts in the WBA, IBF, and WBO, becoming the first Mexico fighter in his division to win the title.
However, after reaching the top, Ruiz lost his mind, frantically attended events and parties, and as a result, he neglected to train, and lost the title of boxing champion in a rematch with Joshua.
After the defeat to Joshua, Ruiz is considered to have changed his mentality, because with a multi-million dollar income, he has become tired of training and matching, so that in the following years, he has played extremely low intensity, so far he has only completed two confrontations.
Interestingly, Miller, who competed with Ruiz this time, was quite "matched" between the two, and Ruiz even needed to regard Miller as a "nobleman", because Joshua's opponent in 2019 was Miller, but unfortunately not long before the start of the game, Miller withdrew due to unqualified drug tests, and the organizer found Ruiz to save the game, but he ended Joshua in an upset. Now, Miller and Ruiz are competing on the same stage, I wonder if they will sigh "changeable fate"?
Miller was forced out of boxing for four years after repeated drug test violations, but he worked hard to win back-to-back victories, but suffered his first career defeat against Daniel Dubois last December, weighing in at 333 pounds.
In the battle with Ruiz, Miller knew that he could not afford to lose, so he worked extra hard in the preparations, and now he has lost a lot of weight, and even has the capital to laugh at Ruiz, he said that he will no longer eat and drink like the other party.
Ruiz immediately countered Miller's provocation, revealing the secret of becoming a boxing champion, and said that the reason why he was able to shock the world was completely due to "eating and drinking".
Ruiz said: "The nachos, the Mexico burritos helped me win all the fights and become a world champion, so there's nothing wrong with that, that's exactly what I was going to do on August 3 (August 4 CST), I'm going to win, I'm going to win this win." It doesn't matter how tall you are, how big you are, how much muscle you have, it's your heart that matters, I have a big heart that feels good and is sharp. ”
Ruiz continued: "We did all the hard work in the gym and didn't play for the previous two years, but that doesn't mean we're away from the gym. You know, I've been training, I've been very disciplined, and even though I've had my ups and downs, God is still with me, and that's why I'm coming out on top this week. ”
No matter what weight Miller and Ruiz wear this week, it's a clash between standard heavy gunners, and it's also a contest between standard "fat guys", and it's up to who can have the last laugh?
"I have everything, I want to come back, I was the unifying heavyweight champion and then it exploded, it disappeared, I want to get it back, it has to be this way, I know what I did wrong and I know what I have to do to get it back," Ruiz said. ”
