“Has he always been this quick” - Andy Ruiz Jr.’s dramatic weight loss pays off in new training video, fans react

Andy Ruiz Jr.'s astonishing weight loss, gearing up for an impressionable comeback, has left fans in awe.

A video on X shows the 33-year-old heavyweight boxer training with a new physique and throwing some swift hands at the pads.

"Has he always been this quick?"

Check out the X post below:

Ruiz Jr. has faced criticism over his weight in the past. The heavyweight boxer looks comparatively slim and fast in the visuals. Surprising the fans, his video had more fans expressing their surprise and praise for him.

See some comments below:

"Ruiz looking amazing here. Speed, Strength and Precision. Whoever he is about to fight next, will reap the wrath."

"Bro has the fastest hands in the division. It’s not up for debate!!"

"Andy Ruiz can still be a world champion."

The 'Destroyer' lost to Anthony Joshua in June 2019 and, ever since, has by and large remained on the sidelines. The training and physical transformation of Ruiz Jr. hint at his possible return to the squared circle.
