Andy Ruiz Jr. (33-2, 22 KOs) and Dillian Whyte (27-1, 18 KOs) exchanged several statements on social networks. At the beginning of the year, the British team offered the Mexican $5 million for a duel in the United States.
As it turned out, Ruiz expressed surprise at such a proposal and did not believe in it, which could mean that he had not heard about it before. The Mexican at that time broke up with his coach and remained without a mentor.
For Ruiz, this could be the first fight after the December defeat to Anthony Joshua. The Mexican who sensationally stopped the Briton last June lost for the first time in three years.
Ruiz has begun training to regain shape and is about to begin training with Eddie Reynoso. The Mexican coach works, among others, with Saul Alvarez, Ryan Garcia and Luis Neri.
