Andy Ruiz Jr. Fires Back at Deontay Wilder's Brains-Splattering Remark
Andy Ruiz Jr., the former heavyweight champion, recently hit the gym to intensify his training for a potential bout against Deontay Wilder, and he made sure to deliver a strong message during his latest training session. While negotiations between Ruiz and Wilder have reached an impasse, it hasn't prevented them from engaging in a war of words on social media. In response to Wilder's comment about wanting to "splatter" Ruiz's brains when they eventually face off, Ruiz responded with a passionate outburst. "The Destroyer" expressed his doubts regarding Wilder's proposed thirty percent purse offer, countering the accusation made by "The Bronze Bomber" that Ruiz was hiding behind his father during their discussions. Clearly discontented, Ruiz let loose his frustrations while on the treadmill. “Don’t say motherf****** Wilder. You’re mad, wow! F*** man, why are you mad? My dad’s trying to look out for me. He wants the best for me [and is] trying to give me as much money as I can [get]. “Come on, man. There’s no reason to be f****** mad about that,” said Ruiz before turning his attention to Wilder’s continuing want to call him names. “[You’re] talking about that I’m fat. I got short arms, but then I’m fast. That’s what everybody thinks. That’s what everybody says until they meet me inside the ring. “[Well], guess what? — This f****** fat chubby kid is about a hummer your f****** a** down. Let’s get it, baby. Come on!” Before Ruiz fired back, Wilder poked him: “With my team, with your team, and now it’s time to put it all together,” said Wilder. “Who acting scared? It isn’t me.“You know, because what you all talk about is unreasonable. Let’s face it, and it is what it is. “So when you serious, holla at me until then. Do what you do, bro. You got a lot of weight to lose, man. You can talk that talk. But only a few walk the walk. “You know what I mean? So if you want to see what a knockout feels like, get your brain splattered. Holla at me, bro. I’m not far.” Wilder vs. Ruiz is anticipated to be announced in the next weeks, since a deal is not far off. As a clash in Las Vegas or Los Angeles this autumn approaches, both of them is exclusively focused on one other. Furthermore, the winner will be required to compete for the WBC championship. However, depending on champion Tyson Fury's decision to continue fighting cross-overs, an interim or even full version might be on the line. Fury has agreed to fight MMA fighter Francis Ngannou in October. The WBC has been supportive thus far, but any additional diversion might result in the victor of Wilder versus Ruiz being proclaimed full titleholder.
