That was evident during a recent live sparring session on Kick, where Ruiz appeared to crack the jaw of influencer Oblivion. The Imperial, California native joined Oblivion on a live stream that quickly went off the rails\u2014but the buildup started days earlier.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size:16px;color:#3e3e3e\" class=\"new-heading_headline-text__HmpNk\">Watch What\u2019s Trending Now!<\/p>\n<p data-athlete=\"false\" class=\"dom-traversal_domPTag__RMrin\">At the start of 2026, <a class=\"dom-traversal_es-hyperlink-new__QGEoc\" href=\"https:\/\/www.essentiallysports.com\/tag\/ryan-garcia\/?utm_medium=website&amp;utm_source=website_internal&amp;utm_campaign=web_link_2\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Ryan Garcia<\/a> made an appearance on Oblivion\u2019s stream, a moment that rapidly went viral across social media. Seemingly inspired by the attention, the streamer sought to replicate the buzz by linking up with <a class=\"dom-traversal_es-hyperlink-new__QGEoc\" href=\"https:\/\/www.essentiallysports.com\/tag\/andy-ruiz-jr\/?utm_medium=website&amp;utm_source=website_internal&amp;utm_campaign=web_link_4\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Andy Ruiz Jr.<\/a> for training, pad work, and eventually live sparring, which gave him this jaw-breaking viral moment.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Oblivion doesn\u2019t remember what happened<\/p>\n<p data-athlete=\"false\" class=\"dom-traversal_domPTag__RMrin\">Clips of the moment have been circulating across social media, with Happy Punch sharing the footage with their followers. \u201cHeavyweight boxer Andy Ruiz just cracked 110-lb streamer Oblivion\u2019s jaw,\u201d Happy Punch reported. Interestingly, Oblivion isn\u2019t a complete novice in the boxing world, as he competes as an influencer boxer himself.<\/p>\n<p data-athlete=\"false\" class=\"dom-traversal_domPTag__RMrin\">Records show the 19-year-old holds a 3\u20131 record in the influencer boxing scene, with his most recent fight taking place on October 3, 2025, against Julian Newman. Although he lost that bout, the clip suggested he possesses only a limited understanding of the sweet science. Regardless, during the livestream, Ruiz and Oblivion can be seen exchanging blows.<\/p>\n<p data-athlete=\"false\" class=\"dom-traversal_domPTag__RMrin\">The session took a dramatic turn when Ruiz backed Oblivion into a corner and landed a vicious left uppercut, sending the streamer crashing to the canvas while screaming in pain. As Oblivion lay on the floor, Ruiz moved in to help him up, but the streamer immediately complained about severe pain in his jaw. \u201cMy Jaw,\u201d Oblivion said.<\/p>\n<p>View this post on Instagram<\/p>\n<p data-athlete=\"false\" class=\"dom-traversal_domPTag__RMrin\">\u201cBro, no cap, he punched me, and I blacked out,\u201d he said moments later. \u201cI don\u2019t even know what he hit me with.\u201d Once fans discovered the clip, they were quick to mock the streamer online.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/preferences\/source?q=essentiallysports.com\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><\/p>\n<p class=\"google-news-banner_description__LfT1E\">Read Top Stories First From EssentiallySports<\/p>\n<p class=\"google-news-banner_clickText__FXmC9\">Click here and check box next to EssentiallySports <\/p>\n<p><\/a>How much power did Andy Ruiz put behind the punch?<\/p>\n<p data-athlete=\"false\" class=\"dom-traversal_domPTag__RMrin\">Instead of asking for Oblivion\u2019s well-being, this fan quickly started theorizing how much power was behind that punch. \u201cBro was going like 5% and dropped him,\u201d the user commented. Ruiz is a heavyweight, after all\u2014and even defeated <a class=\"dom-traversal_es-hyperlink-new__QGEoc\" href=\"https:\/\/www.essentiallysports.com\/tag\/anthony-joshua\/?utm_medium=website&amp;utm_source=website_internal&amp;utm_campaign=web_link_2\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Anthony Joshua<\/a> once.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p data-athlete=\"false\" class=\"dom-traversal_domPTag__RMrin\">The next user felt the power Ruiz used was much lower. \u201cThat 1 percent hit hard sometimes,\u201d the user commented. Still, Oblivion had absorbed several shots before the big one, which could have contributed to the knockout.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p data-athlete=\"false\" class=\"dom-traversal_domPTag__RMrin\">Meanwhile, this user shared some advice to prevent broken jaws. \u201cAlways bite on ur mouthguard. If u get caught with ur mouth open, u will break ur jaw,\u201d the user noted. Broken jaws are a common injury in boxing, but the extent of the injury often varies from fighter to fighter.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p data-athlete=\"false\" class=\"dom-traversal_domPTag__RMrin\">Another user shared his own experience with a cracked jaw. \u201cI remember getting my jaw cracked by a head kick in training. I couldn\u2019t chew for three days. Hope he likes yogurt and soft food,\u201d the user commented. Oblivion might not spar a heavyweight again.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p data-athlete=\"false\" class=\"dom-traversal_domPTag__RMrin\">Someone else highlighted why the knockout was so scary. \u201cHe was laughing whilst throwing it too, that\u2019s the scary part,\u201d the user commented. Ruiz has trained in the sport since he was a child. Of course, fighting a smaller and less experienced opponent was easy for him.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p data-athlete=\"false\" class=\"dom-traversal_domPTag__RMrin\">That being said, it appears Oblivion may not want to spar with larger opponents again anytime soon. But do you think Andy Ruiz should have been more careful?\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Share this with a friend:<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Former heavyweight champion Andy Ruiz Jr. may be done competing at the elite level, but he clearly hasn\u2019t&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":415280,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[447],"tags":[703,49,48,82],"class_list":["post-415279","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-boxing","tag-boxing","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/415279","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=415279"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/415279\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/415280"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=415279"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=415279"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=415279"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
