Andy Ruiz to train with the Reynosos

Former WBA/IBF/WBO heavyweight champion Andy Ruiz, looking to rebound from an embarrassing loss to Anthony Joshua, has officially joined Team Canelo [Alvarez] and will be trained by Eddy and Chepo Reynoso. Eddy Reynoso posted a video on @CaneloTeam Instagram account to welcome Ruiz, who faces a new stage in his career with a different training team and in a new setting. Ruiz was rumored to be joining Canelo’s team months ago. In fact, a few weeks ago, the fighter told WBA president Gilberto Jesús Mendoza through an Instagram Live interview that there were advanced talks. Ruiz surprised the world last year when he knocked out Joshua and became the first Mexican heavyweight champion in history. But when he came back for a rematch in December, he lost the crown in a performance that saw him show up grossly overweight. Ruiz soon admitted that he didn’t train properly for the fight and that that played a big part in his defeat. Now, under Reynoso’s command, he aims to return to the top of boxing and become world champion again.
