DILLIAN WHYTE has slammed Andy Ruiz Jr as a “fat c***” after the Mexican claimed Whyte was avoiding the potential fight.
Ruiz Jr posted on Instagram last week, saying: “You didn’t want any smoke so I moved on to the next opponent.”

Whyte, 31, was quick to respond, posting: “Typical coward move from fake Mexican @Andy_destroyer1 a blob rolling away from a big payday you’re all stomach & no heart.”
Promoter Eddie Hearn revealed he sent a “big seven-figure offer” to ex-champion Ruiz – who is coming off a disappointing loss to Anthony Joshua in Saudi Arabia in December – to face Whyte.
Hearn had indicated the Brit will face Russian Alexander Povetkin in April instead, with Ruiz an option for the summer.
Whyte has since posted a video saying: “Listen guys, Andy Ruiz has been talking s***, saying I’m running away from the smoke.
“I’m the one who made the offer to him. He never made an offer to fight me, so who is the coward?
“I told Eddie (Hearn) to make the offer to fight him. He turned it down, so he’s the f****** coward. Fat c*** just talking s***.”
It would be Ruiz Jr’s first return to the ring since losing in the rematch with Anthony Joshua in December.
The Mexican-American blamed the defeat on his preparation, claiming he didn’t train properly and partied too much.
Whyte beat Poland’s Mariusz Wach on a unanimous points decision on the Joshua vs Ruiz Jr undercard.
