Mexican-American boxer, Andy Ruiz has blamed his defeat in his rematch with Anthony Joshua on three months of partying and celebration.
The boxer said this at the post match conference, stating his reasons for losing the rematch, he said he partied, became overweight and undertrained for the rematch which took place in Saudi Arabia on Saturday December 7.
Ruiz said: “Three months of partying and celebrating affected me, what can I say? Being overweight, I wasn’t fluid enough, I wasn’t moving the way I wanted to move. I think if I’m lighter I’m going to let my hands go and be a completely different fighter.”
