Andy Ruiz Jr. Looking Like An Absolute UNIT Upon Arrival In Saudi Arabia

I know it’s a quick clip, but what’s not to love? Honestly? There’s nothing more endearing than a chubby underdog. The guy flies into Saudi Arabia, shamelessly rips his shirt off, and gets to work. Probably doesn’t even keep his shirt on in the pool either. If you don’t want him to slap the taste out of Anthony Joshua’s mouth on December 7th, you’re out of your mind. Here’s a quick excerpt on the upcoming fight from Large’s “Every Last Fucking Thing You Need To Know About Boxing” blog.

Looking furthest out, Ruiz/Joshua II is set to take place on December 7th. -  The original rumor that the match would take place in the Middle East went over like a dead journalist, but according to Eddie Hearn, that rumor has become a reality, and at last check, it is slated to be held in scenic Diriyah, Saudi Arabia.  Diriyah is a desert town on the outskirts of Saudi Arabia’s capital city, Riyadh, and a new arena will be built specially to host the contest.

Putting aside that this fight will take place in a nation which I believe still beheads homosexuals (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LGBT_rights_in_Saudi_Arabia), I think everyone is curious to see whether Ruiz is for real, Joshua is not, or a combo of both, but what truly intrigues the shit out of me is that the WBO recently made Oleksandr Usyk their (the WBO’s) mandatory challenger – Which puts this crazy Ukranian sonofabitch next in line to face the winner of Ruiz/Joshua II, and I have a horse in any race that Usyk runs.  

And here’s what his opponent currently looks like…

Yeah, I’m team Andy. Everyone’s favorite taco endorser.

Everyone’s favorite Instagramer.

The destroyer.

Can’t get enough of the guy.
