Ruiz lands a punch on joshua in the first fight

Former two-time World Heavyweight Boxing Champion of the World Evander Holyfield says Andy Ruiz Jnr has really fast hands and can really hit hard but very few people seem to realize this.

Holyfield who sparred with Ruiz earlier in his career, says his win over Joshua was not a fluke where he got taken down but got back up to win.

Discussing how things went down, Holyfield was quick to point out he always saw something special in the youngster back in the day. 

Holyfield says when you look at Ruiz people think that he doesn’t look like he can fight at all but this is far from the truth.

Ruiz will fight Joshua on the 8th of next month in Saudi Arabia.
