Slimmer Andy Ruiz can`t wait to alight in the ring

The first Mexican heavyweight world champion, Andy Ruíz, will return to the ring after a 17-month hiatus, to fight Chris Arreola, on May 1 at Dignity Health Sports Park in Carson, California.

After months of being focused upon the gym, slimmed, conditioned and meticulously guided by coach Eddy Reynoso, Andy is ready to get back to winning ways, after his loss to Anthony Joshua in December 2019.

“I can’t wait to get back in the ring. Training with Eddy in his gym has been incredible. I am surrounded by great fighters, especially Canelo Álvarez and we are putting in the work, to be better than ever. I’ve known Chris Arreola since I turned pro. I will be smart and ready to put myself back in position to be world champion,” pledged Andy.

For his part, Arreola, who has not fought since 2019, commented: “We are doing everything possible so that when Ruiz and I meet, the fans enjoy an all-out war between the two best Mexican-American heavyweights. I plan to win,” stressed Nightmare Arreola.
