ANDY RUIZ JR splashed out a whopping £96,275 on a new Mercedes truck – despite his dad telling him to “stay humble” and stop buying cars.
The Mexican, 30, was thrust into the global spotlight after dethroning Anthony Joshua to become heavyweight world champion in June.

He is understood to have earned around £5million for the fight in New York.
And now £783,275 of that has gone towards amassing a stunning car collection, ignoring his father’s pleads.
That fleet includes the new Merc, a Lamborghini Urus and two white Rolls-Royces.
Ruiz Jr has also bought a car for his mother Felicitas, his dad a truck and spent £760,000 on a new house.
But Andy Ruiz Sr was not happy with his son.
After picking up one of the Rolls-Royces, he said: “I told him, ‘Andy, this is your last car, don’t buy any more.’
“I said, if anything, buy a Rolls-Royce and rent it out, make money. You can make $30,000 a month on it.”
Ruiz Sr added to BBC Sport: “Like a father, I told him to stay humble – don’t spend the money, invest it in houses.”
But it appears his wise counsel has gone straight over his son’s head.
The Mercedes Twin-Turbocharged 4.0-liter V8 G Wagon G550 can reach 0-60 in just 5.6 seconds, and it’s 416 Horsepower engine is limited to 130mph.
“Another one,” Ruiz said speaking of his G Wagon purchase.
“I went to drop off the Rolls-Royce and the guy that gave me the Rolls-Royce I went to go drop him off and he brought up in this car and I think he done it on purpose and I just fell in love with it, I had to get it.”
Ruiz Jr is set to earn another £10m on Saturday night when he takes on Joshua for their rematch in Saudi Arabia – a fraction of the £66MILLION AJ is expected to pocket.
