Andy Ruiz, Jr. (33-2, 22 KOs) has officially confirmed the start of cooperation with Eddie Reynoso, who is today the most famous Mexican coach. Another trainer, the legend of the Mexican coaching school, Ignacio Nacho Bertistain, still sees great potential in the Destroyer.

Many people wrote Andy off after he went unprepared for a rematch with Anthony Joshua, and entered the ring with a weight of almost 290 pounds and lost on points in a one-sided battle. Together with Reynoso, however, Ruiz wants to return to the top.

“Andy has his own attributes. Despite the fact that he is fat, he remains very fast and skillful fighter. I was a little sad to see him and Manny Robels in rematch with Joshua. In my opinion, the lack of discipline is and will not depend on any coach. He is a good boxer, but there are a lot of cool guys in the heavyweights. It will not be easy for him. He made a lot of money because he has his own strengths and potential, but it will be difficult for him with two or three guys in that weight,” Nacho Bertistain said.
