He clarified that the main focus of the camp is on skill development because “this is not a weightlifting competition – I’m going back to what made me a champion in the first place, and I’m not here to lose weight or look cool – I just want to be in” my “form”.
For Ruiz, this will be the third fight in a row with the third coach during this time: after the second fight with Joshua, he broke up with Manny Robles, hired Eddie Reynoso to fight Chris Arreola, and now works with Alfredo Osuna.
“I’ve wanted to work with Osuna for a long time, it just wasn’t the right time before. He’s just what you need against lefties. I feel, this is exactly what I need for this fight, ”said

“Louis is going to fight for real, he wants to be a champion. It won’t be an easy ride. His style is different from what I’m used to – he’s strong, awkward, left-handed – but we trained very hard to hone our skills “for him.” I have to go back to the titles, ”the Mexican dreams.
