Andy Ruiz Jr. Gets Huge Back Tattoo, Displays His Improved Shape

Andy Ruiz Jr. shocked fans in more ways than one with a recent snap on Instagram.

The former heavyweight champion showed off a new and bizarre tattoo on his back that even extends as far as his butt.

You can see it below:

“Back and cheeks done lol hahahah thanks to my boy @ish_tattoos”

While that was certainly attention grabbing, what was equally as such was the shape Ruiz was in.

Given how fleshy he looked at 283 pounds for his defeat to Anthony Joshua in their rematch back in December 2019, it’s certainly a dramatic change for Ruiz who has clearly shed some pounds.

It will be interesting to see how his new shape translates in the ring as Ruiz looks to build on his May win over Chris Arreola.

Having already detailed his desire to compete before the end of the year, the Mexican-American recently named three opponents he would like to face.

“We’re looking at Adam Kownacki, he’s going to be fighting in October,” Ruiz said. “There’s Charles Martin, Luis Ortiz. There’s a lot of guys out there for me. I just gotta stay busy and stay active.”

Who do you want to see Ruiz face next?
