Andy Ruiz Jr shows off stunning weight loss as Eddie Hearn says Mexican has REJECTED Derek Chisora fight offer

ANDY RUIZ JR looks fighting fit but Eddie Hearn claimed he rejected an offer to fight Derek Chisora.

The Mexican-American shock to stardom in June 2019 when he beat Anthony Joshua on short notice.


But Ruiz, 32, ballooned up to 20 STONE for the rematch six months later and was beaten on points by Joshua, 32.

He returned in May under new trainer Eddy Reynoso and did so at 18st 2lb beating Chris Arreola, 41.

It appears Ruiz has managed to keep the weight down as he showed off a slimmer build on Twitter.

And it comes just in time for a rumoured fight against British favourite Chisora, who urged the former champion to come to the UK.

Chisora has been beaten by Oleksandr Usyk, 35, and Joseph Parker, 30, twice, in his last three fights.

But he remains ever popular among British boxing fans and vowed to snub retirement.

Cuban Luis Ortiz, 42, who has only ever lost to Wilder, was another named linked.

Hearn said on talkSPORT last month: "There’s been a few talks about Chisora against Luis Ortiz with those guys. I like that fight.”
