Ruiz, however, hasn’t exactly set the world alight with his form in recent years. Since his stunning upset victory over Anthony Joshua in June 2019, Ruiz has fought only four times, winning just twice. He lost an immediate rematch six months later, he outpointed Chris Arreola over 12 rounds in 2021, scored the same result over Luis Ortiz the following year, before he returned from another hiatus to draw with Jarrell Miller in August 2024. That was the most recent action from Ruiz, 35-2-1 (22 KOs).
