Stoney Says Ruiz Ready For Toney on April 30!

Just minutes ago, Norman "Stoney" Stone informed Boxingtalk.com that WBA heavyweight champion John Ruiz would be ready in time to face mandatory challenger James "Lights-Out" Toney on April 30. "Oh yeah, we're serious, we can be ready. We're down, but is your buddy going to be ready?" Boxingtalk informed Stoney that Toney says he'd be ready today. "Tell em Jawny's not Booker T. Jawny's ready to do what he needs to do to win the fight and he's not going to lose his title against James Toney." Stoney recently had hip surgery and he's currently walking around on crutches, but he'd even be willing to bring in someone else to train "Jawny" for the Toney fight if it could get done by April 30.
