ANDY RUIZ JR is closing in on a mouthwatering heavyweight fight against Luis Ortiz.The Mexican, who shocked the world in June 2019 when he beat Anthony Joshua to be crowned unified champ, was being lined up to face Deontay Wilder.

But the former WBC king is still considering his future after two shattering losses to Tyson Fury.
Now, according to World Boxing News, veteran Ortiz, 42, is the more likely option for Ruiz Jr.
It is reported that ‘if Wilder comes back he’d undoubtedly be first choice’ – but Ortiz is now a viable option.
The Cuban has won his last two fights by knockout after being stopped himself by Wilder in November 2019.
Last time out he KO’d former IBF champion Charles Martin in the sixth round, after being floored himself in rounds one and four.
But Ruiz Jr, who secured a points win against Chris Arreola last time out, will have some work to do before getting back in the ring.

World Boxing News adds that he ‘isn’t in fighting shape’ and ‘isn’t in a progressive training camp’ with mentor Eddy Reynoso.
Both Ruiz Jr, 32, and Ortiz are looking to get back in the mix for world titles.
But seemingly their respective paths will be determined by Wilder’s big decision, with boxing manager Al Haymon waiting in the wings to pitch his next big fight.

Caj Sohal, Head of Sport at Channel 5 said: “We are very excited to bepartnering with Wasserman, one of the world’s largest sports marketingcompanies, to continue to bring top class fights free-to-air in the UK.
“With the industry expertise of the Sauerland brothers and the incredible reach of the Wasserman agency, our audience can look forward to some unforgettable nights of boxing live and free on Channel 5.”
UK boxing is on the rise with Khan vs Brook earning 500,000 pay per view buys late last month, despite claims the pair had left the fight too late.
Fury vs Whyte is also set to take place in front of a packed-out Wembley on April 23, with the attendance possibly set to be increased to a record 100,000.
Eubank Jr called out Kell Brook to be his next opponent but it seems a fight is unlikely to take place until the pair can agree on a weight they are both happy with. More

In his last fight Fury weighed the heaviest of his career against Deontay Wilder, coming in at 19st11lbs, and it allowed him to knock out the American in the 11th round.
Fury is aiming to do the same to Whyte in the all-England clash on St. George’s Day.
He said: “I will try to come in at my heaviest weight of all time.
“For my biggest fight, in front of my biggest audience I will try to be a man mountain.
“I will be heavier than 19st 10lbs.
“My personal message to Dillian is ‘I will win this fight for England and St George, on St George’s Day’.”

Fury also suggested his bout with Whyte will be his last before he retires so he likely wants to go out with a bang.
In the eventful press conference, Fury gave his absent challenger the nickname of ‘Frillian Whyte Knickers’, and later posted a photoshopped photo of Whyte to go with his new name.
He also claimed he would go to war to fight for the UK following news that boxers Oleksandr Usyk and Vasiliy Lomachenko have taken up arms. More

ANTHONY JOSHUA has revealed he wants Dillian Whyte to beat Tyson Fury even though he ‘hates him’. After weeks of speculation, Fury and Whyte’s fight is officially confirmed for April 23 at Wembley Stadium.

And one man sure to be keeping a close eye on developments is former unified heavyweight world champion Joshua.
Speaking ahead of Lawrence Okolie’s cruiserweight showdown against Michal Cieslak at the O2 Arena on Sunday night, Joshua revealed who has his backing in the Fury vs Whyte battle of Britain.
AJ also hinted he is keen to come to blows with Whyte again after the pair first fought as pro’s back in 2015.
He told iFL TV: “It’s a good opponent [for Fury], it’s a good [title] defence against Dillian Whyte.
“Dillian Whyte needs to come in, look at what Tyson Fury does and reacts to, and do the complete opposite. Maybe work the body, and be conditioned to go the distance. 
“But I hope Dillian trains hard [and] doesn’t underestimate Tyson. Because it’s his first shot for Dillian, I think he’ll be hungry, do you know what I mean?

AJ and the ‘Brixton Bodysnatcher’ met in the ring for the British title over six years ago, with Joshua winning via a seventh-round TKO.
Plans were also in place for Joshua and Fury to fight in a mouthwatering undisputed clash last year, before a court of arbitration ordered the latter into a trilogy battle with Deontay Wilder.

Joshua is currently gearing up for a rematch with Oleksandr Usyk, but Russia’s invasion of Usyk’s home country, Ukraine, may cause uncertainties regarding that bout.
When asked whether he was concerned for Usyk, AJ seemingly referenced Usyk and his countrymen, and former heavyweights, Vitaly and Wladimir Klitschko.
AJ said: “I’ve learnt [that] sport and politics go hand in hand, and they’re powerful voices, and it’s good that they’re speaking up.
“They’re not pushing for war, they’re saying ‘let’s find peace’. 
“So good luck to them, and that’s it really, before I go on and say something wrong.” More

But unbeaten Fury is demanding there to be no officiating from his compatriots following Josh Taylor’s controversial win over Jack Catterall.
Catterall outclassed the Scottish southpaw on Saturday in Glasgow, but was cruelly robbed of becoming the new undisputed super-lightweight world champion.
Fans instantly took to social media to express their anger at the scoring, as they labelled it as ‘one of boxing’s worst ever decisions’.
The result led to the British Boxing Board of Control to investigate the outcome, with the ringside judges to be asked to explain their cards.
Fury’s promoter Frank Warren then stated that if he had it his way, no British judges would score the upcoming heavyweight title fight.
And Fury then told talkSPORT: “I’ve seen an article recently where Frank Warren said there would be no British judges for this fight and I reiterate that as well.

“Those words echo around my training camp. We don’t want British judges for this fight. We want proper, experienced, judges who will do the right thing.
“If Dillian Whyte beats me, give him the decision. Do not try and rob anybody of this fight, give the man the decision, give the man what he deserves.
“If I win, do the same for me. In boxing, these fighters don’t want any gifts, they don’t want robbery decisions.
“People want to win if they win, and lose if they lose. In the game, we’ve seen so many boxing decisions go the opposite way and I’m just thinking ‘what are they watching’.

“As for the fight that happened the other night, both fighters tried their best and done what they could do best.
