ANDY RUIZ JR has showed off his incredible weight loss ahead of the rematch against Anthony Joshua.
The heavyweight champion, 30, has warned AJ that he will be lighter, faster and more powerful when they meet for the second time.
Ruiz weighed in at 19 stone and two pounds when he dethroned the British superstar, 30, in June.
And he has undergone a remarkable body transformation ahead of their rematch in Saudi Arabia on December 7.
The 31-year-old has gone from eating Snickers to sparring Bounty’s in an attempt to lose any excess fat.
Michael Hunter sent social media into meltdown when he shared a snap of Ruiz without his shirt on.
Alongside a snap of the pair in the gym, the caption read: “Elite Sparring. Saudi Bound! @Andy_destroyer1”
Ruiz, who once claimed he hopes to become the face of Snickers bars, smiled as he showed off his bulging biceps.
In response to the picture, one fan said: “Looks great! Almost like a cruise.”
Another Twitter user joked: “Bro can you even make heavyweight? Looking trim.”
And one fan simply said: “He’s looking ripped.”
Despite the photographic evidence, promoter Eddie Hearn is convinced Ruiz has tricked fans into thinking he has lost weight.
