Andy Ruiz Jr.

I'd love to be at 250, 255, but just be fit and be solid.

Mom, I love you. I love you, and our lives are gonna change. We don't have to struggle no more.

I'd love to fight Wilder. They say everyone is scared of him, I'm not scared of nobody.

I love The Rock.

I love all the Imperial Valley, man.

Boxing saved my life. There were a lot of gangs and I was hanging around with the wrong people.

My whole life people underrated me.

Boxing gave me the discipline and took me away from the streets and away from the corners. It changed my life, you know. Boxing dragging me away from all the bad potential I had.

People tell me that I've also changed their lives making history.

I've been an underdog my whole life with the shape that I have and the way that I look. But once I get in the ring it's a whole different ball game.

A lot of people saying that I'm not training, that I'm not taking it serious. Come on, I got all these belts. There's a lot of responsibilities to this.

First I tried karate but I didn't like it because it was boring. There was no action like you see in the movies.
