Ruiz Ready to Reignite Heavyweight Fire | Boxing News
Description
Eddie Hearn is betting big on Andy Ruiz, signing him to a new deal and declaring he’s still got the firepower to shock the heavyweight world—despite a two-year layoff. Ruiz returns September 4 in Newark against Damian Knyba, with Hearn boldly predicting he can topple top names like Daniel Dubois and Fabio Wardley, even suggesting he could beat Agit Kabayel. While Ruiz’s recent record is spotty—just four fights since his Joshua upset, ending in a draw last August—Hearn sees a hunger and natural talent in Ruiz: power, speed, boxing IQ, and a durable chin. This isn’t just about a comeback; it’s Hearn’s chance to resurrect Ruiz’s legacy and reignite the magic that once stunned the boxing world.
