While Ruiz certainly isn’t as dangerous as WBC champion Deontay Wilder,
whom the boxing world is waiting with baited breath for Joshua to
finally face, the Mexican-American fighter is still a credible threat.

“[Ruiz] is from a boxing background; his dad is an ex-boxer [who fought]
on the world stage as well,” Joshua said. “He is Mexican and we all
know they can fight and it’s their heritage. He does not throw as much
punches as Miller and is more selective. Ruiz punches with more intent
to hurt and slow your opponent down so they are easier to hit. I think
Miller was trying to outwork me and muscle me where Ruiz is looking for
that one-shot knockout.”
Although Ruiz isn’t necessarily known as a destroyer, he does like to
scrap and is no stranger to giving as good as he gets. The fight against
Joshua represents a quick turnaround in the sense that Ruiz made his
PBC debut in late April by stopping the much bigger Alexander Dimitrenko
in an action fight.
What Ruiz is most known for as a heavyweight is his quick hands and
deceiving agility for a fighter who has battled weight issues throughout
his career and largely enters as the antithesis of the chiseled and
hulking Joshua.
This is also not Ruiz first time on the national/title level. The
Mexican-American went to New Zealand in 2016 to take on hometown phenom
Joseph Parker for the then-vacant WBO heavyweight crown. Not only did
Ruiz look strong while fighting in his opponent’s backyard, but some
believe he did enough to earn the win despite losing on close
scorecards.
