Andy Ruiz Jr has yet again displayed his incredible weight loss as he continues to prepare for his huge heavyweight rematch with Anthony Joshua.

American boxer Michael Hunter, who is on the under card for the fight next month, shared a picture of the pair on Thursday.
It showed just how much progress Ruiz Jr has made with his weight loss programme as he looks to defend the WBA, IBF, WBO and IBO he stole from Joshua after a brutal knockout at Madison Square Garden.
Speaking about his tactics for the fight earlier this month, Ruiz said a lighter frame should help him this time around.
‘I kind of wanted to be a little heavier because Anthony Joshua’s big, I wanted to carry his weight, take the punches well but I think being 10lbs lighter, I’m going to be a better fighter,’ Ruiz said.
‘I’m going to be more faster, let my hands go and be faster on my feet as well.
‘Ten pounds isn’t going to make any difference, if anything it’s going to make me stronger, it’s going to make me faster, especially because he’s going to be running around.
