    Andy Ruiz Jr shows off dramatic body transformation and leaves fans stunned with new look after Anthony Joshua loss

    ANDY RUIZ JR has stunned his fans with his impressive body transformation and slimmed-down look as he prepares to return to the ring.
    The Mexican-American boxer, 31, tipped the scales at a staggering 20st 3lbs for his loss against Anthony Joshua in December 2019.

    Despite reports in the build up to the Clash on the Dunes stating he’d lost weight, Ruiz had actually put on 15lbs from his shocking win over AJ in New York just six months earlier.
    He would go on to lose in an absolute masterclass from British ace Joshua – who himself massively bulked up for his most recent fight with Kubrat Pulev.
    But Ruiz showed off a more slender frame in his most-recent Instagram post promoting a friend’s book – and fans were quick to praise his new look.
    The star captioned his snap with: “I love my fans. I love hearing the stories of inspiration especially from small business owners.

    “I met @welcome_to_blackwater_book and he told me about his amazing book.
    “Blackwater was the most notorious private contractor of the Global War on Terror. An Army and Air Force veteran, details the truth of working as a Blackwater operator in Iraq. Go check him out.”
    The comments quickly piled in, with one saying: “Looking slim champ.”
    Another wrote: “You look great Andy!”

    A fellow follower commented: “Looking fit doggy keep it up!”
    As a fellow supporter said: “Very handsome champ.”
    Ruiz does not currently have a fight lined-up – but he admitted he’d love to “shut up” Dillian Whyte.
    The pair were embroiled in a war of words online earlier this year after Whyte claimed Ruiz rejected a £4million offer to face him.
    Ruiz, who has switched trainers after linking up with Canelo Alvarez’s coach Eddy Reynoso, has not forgotten about the rivalry, and insisted he does want to fight Whyte.
    He told eSNEWS. “I’d like to fight Dillian Whyte, and I’d like to shut him up.
    “That would be an amazing fight in the United States or over there.
    “I know I can win. I feel like I can win against Everybody, but it’s just up to me.”

    As well as a fight with Whyte, Ruiz wants to settle the score with Joshua in the third fight of their trilogy.
    He also wants to squeeze in a mega-fight with either WBC champion Tyson Fury or Deontay Wilder.
    Ruiz continued: “I’d like to fight the rematch again, the third fight with Anthony Joshua, and either between Wilder and Tyson Fury.
    “Nobody thought I’d be champion of the world with the way I looked. I want to get back at it and be the man I’m supposed to be.
    “And I don’t have a fight date yet, but I’m for sure going to fight this year.
    “I just want to be in shape and show everybody… this little chubby boy is going to look good.”

    Floyd Mayweather’s amazing lifestyle, with homes in LA, Miami and Las Vegas, a £20m car collection and £14m watch

    DON’T call it a comeback!
    Floyd Mayweather, 43, will say he’s never been away from boxing, keeping up his impressive training regime even when he’s not got a scheduled fight on.

    And even though it’s not a professional fight, he will be taking his upcoming exhibition bout against Logan Paul on February 20 very seriously – for which Mayweather is said to be getting the majority of the purse.
    His paydays over the years have afforded him an amazing lifestyle, sharing video and photos inside his incredible homes, showing off his latest rides, as well as his expensive jewellery.
    It’s a life he’s built all himself – being one of only a handful of sportsman in the world ever to earn over $1billion (£760million) in his career – with reports saying it might be as much as £2.4billion.
    Here’s where some of that money went…

    THREE AMAZING HOMES
    Mayweather doesn’t skimp when it comes to property.
    That’s why he’s got THREE incredible mansions dotted around the country – in LA, Las Vegas, and Miami.
    His most recent purchase is his Nevada compound that cost a whopping £7.8million.
    The undefeated boxing champ’s Vegas mansion features 11 bedrooms, 14 bathrooms, indoor and outdoor swimming pools and a gym.

    There’s also a wine cellar and his own vineyard, as well as two detached underground garages that house his mega car collection – more to come on that later.
    His LA abode in Beverly Hills set him back an eye-watering £19million.

    The six-bed, 10-bathroom property has everything a sports superstar could want, and his love of wine continues with a 225 wine rack he’s showed off before on social media fixed on the kitchen wall.
    There’s also a 12-seat cinema room, complete with its very own sweet shop loaded with popcorn, chocolate and liquorice.
    While his Miami beachfront five-bedroom house is the perfect holiday home.
    Mayweather bought the 5,200-square-foot £5.3million digs in 2015, but is rarely seen there.
    It features a sleek design, with an open-plan layout and floor-to-ceiling windows in place of walls.
    Outside, there’s a ‘zero-edge’ swimming pool and spa, and the mansion also comes with a private dock as part of its boatload of features.
    SO MANY CARS
    It’s no secret that Mayweather loves his motors.
    But he often only gets them in two colours – white or black. Either way, he has to have two of each stored in LA and Las Vegas.
    And it’s reckoned that his car collection is worth around £20million.

    He has a series of Rolls-Royces worth over a staggering £3million, as well as four Bugatti Veyron supercars that cost £1.7million.
    Other notable rides include a Lamborghini Aventador (£275,000), as well as a Ferrari 488 worth around £238,000.
    Recent additions to Mayweather’s LA fleet are his Mercedes G63 AMG (£155,000), and he even has his own branded van.
    And if it’s not wheels he’s after, wings work too.
    Mayweather is believed to own three private jets, including one he calls ‘Air Mayweather.’
    He bought a £50million Gulfstream G650 jet as a birthday present for himself in 2018.
    Often, he shares snaps online playing high-stakes poker with mates on board.
    The plane is, of course, emblazoned with his TMT ‘The Money Team’ logo and his undefeated 50-0 professional boxing record.
    AND THE JEWELLERY
    When you live the lifestyle Mayweather leads, you’ve got to look the part.

    How ‘broke’ Floyd Mayweather won and lost $1bn career earnings from lavish parties to love for jewellery
    And the Michigan-born ringmaster loves jewellery, including having a penchant for watches… expensive ones, at that.
    It is believed he has up to 41 in his collection – but nothing beats his “One and Only” worth a staggering £14million bought from Japanese jeweller Tadashi Fukushima.
    Made by Jacob & Co, it’s actually called ‘The Billionaire Watch’ and was made in 2015.

    It features 239 emerald-cut baguette diamond stones, each weighing up to 3 carats and looks bedazzling.
    While, when Mayweather is courtside catching an NBA game he’s often seen draped in pure gold necklaces weighing up to 11kg.
    Diamonds are certainly this man’s best friend. More

    Anthony Joshua prefers business to fighting and retirement talk and boxing style suggests he’s losing drive, says Whyte

    ANTHONY JOSHUA prefers business over boxing, claims heavyweight rival Dillian Whyte.
    The British star, 31, beat Kubrat Pulev last month to set up an undisputed world title fight with Tyson Fury.

    But Whyte reckons AJ is losing his ‘drive and desire’ amid talks of his retirement.
    The Body Snatcher told Sky Sports: “Maybe he’s comfortable, maybe his drive and desire is going down.
    “He seems to be fighting a lot more defensively than he used to do.
    “Maybe he’s thinking, ‘You know what, I haven’t got long left, it’s a hard game.’

    “When you achieve everything you’ve set out to achieve and you’ve got lots of money, sometimes you think, ‘You know what, let me just retire and go and do something else.’
    “He doesn’t strike me as someone who loves fighting.
    “He loves the business and he loves the opportunities.
    “Obviously he’s a good athlete and a good boxer, but he doesn’t strike me as someone who loves to fight.

    “I love fighting. I enjoy fighting for the sake of fighting. That’s why I’ll fight anyone and I’m always ready to go.”
    FANCY A PUNT? TODAY’S BEST ODDS BOOSTS FROM THE UK’S LEADING BOOKIES

    WBA, WBO and IBF title holder Joshua has confirmed he will retire within five years.
    SunSport have identified five opponents that he must fight before he hangs up his gloves.
    AJ told Sky Sports: “This isn’t the start of my career. I’m coming towards the end of my career.
    “I’m not someone who lives in the moment and thinks that everything is just like for now.
    “I’m always planning ahead so I’m coming towards the end of my career.”
    Joshua is set to fight Fury next, with a location already agreed for the Battle of Britain.

    But legendary promoter Bob Arum confirmed a date for the fight is yet to be decided.
    After AJ faces Fury, Whyte wants another shot at the former Olympic champion.
    Whyte beat Joshua as an amateur before AJ won the professional rematch in 2015.
    When asked if AJ will want to fight him for a third time, he said: “He definitely should do.
    “Why shouldn’t he? Currently, it’s one all. I look forward to the third fight in the future.
    “However, I can’t say what he wants and what he doesn’t want.”
    Whyte is preparing for his rematch with Alexander Povetkin after he lost to the Russian veteran in August.

    Eight venues that could host Tyson Fury vs Anthony Joshua after location ‘confirmed’ from Qatar stadium to Fight Island

    ANTHONY JOSHUA’S Battle of Britain against Tyson Fury now has a ‘confirmed’ location.
    However, where that is remains a mystery for now.

    Anthony Joshua has fought all over the world – but fight fans will be hoping the Fury clash will be on home soil after he beat Kubrat Pulev

    Fury’s promoter Bob Arum has disclosed that the fighters have reached agreement on where the mega-fight will take place.
    WBC king Fury and WBA, WBO and IBF champ Joshua agreed to two fights last year.
    Arum says they can expect to bank £73million each from the first fight.
    While the UK would be the fans’ choice, with the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, Eddie Hearn is more than open to fighting in a ‘wacky’ location.

    Here, SunSport checks out eight potential venues that could be in the running to house the mouthwatering battle.
    Wembley Stadium
    Being the national stadium, Wembley is a firm favourite to hold such a monumental boxing clash.
    Joshua has already sold out the 90,000 capacity London venue when he beat Wladimir Klitschko in a thriller in 2017 to become unified champ.
    He went on to defend his titles against Alexander Povetkin there too in September 2018.

    It would be Fury’s first fight at Wembley – but he has won twice at the Arena next door.
    The UK seems an unlikely option for the first fight – due to both coronavirus and the riches on offer abroad – but could be the preferred option for the second bout in the two-fight deal that’s been agreed.

    Tottenham Hotspur Stadium
    The futuristic North London venue deserves to hold an event of such magnitude.
    Hearn seems a fan, previously touting it for prospective giant boxing clashes including the initial plans for Joshua to face Pulev.
    Housing just over 62,000 and with travel links decent enough and set to be upgraded, the home of Spurs could be the favourite.

    Principality Stadium
    Promoter Hearn and Joshua were raving after the Welsh stadium hosted AJ’s victory against Joseph Parker in March 2018.
    There was even the chance of Joshua’s rematch against Andy Ruiz Jr happening there, until the millions of Saudi Arabia came knocking.
    With Fury from the north and Joshua the south, this would play the part of a neutral 74,000 capacity venue.

    Old Trafford
    Fury has often spoke of his dreams to have a world title fight in his hometown of Morecambe.
    But that might be a little too much for the quaint seaside town.
    Sixty miles down the road is Manchester, and the 76,000-capacity home of his beloved football club, United.
    The Gyspy King has previously been paraded out on the hallowed turf at half-time of a Premier League game.

    Lusail Iconic Stadium
    Many expect the fight to be heading to the Middle East with a specially-constructed arena in Saudi Arabia hosting AJ’s win over Andy Ruiz Jr.
    With Hearn accepting that the fight may not take place in the UK, Qatar may emerge as a serious contender for the honour.
    The hosts of the 2022 World Cup have a whole host of new venues on the way, including the 80,000-seater Lusail Iconic Stadium that will host the final.
    Due to be completed in May, what better opening event than a heavyweight world unification fight?

    Fight Island
    Dana White’s UFC spectacle was able to continue throughout the pandemic by setting up at Yas Marina in Abu Dhabi.
    The unique location may be an option if fans are still unable to attend this unification battle.
    And few could doubt the UAE’s ability to pull out the cash to land the fight.

    Saudi Arabia
    Another proven destination for major sporting events in recent years has been Saudi Arabia.
    It took just weeks for Saudi authorities to construct a 15,000-seater venue to host Joshua’s rematch with Ruiz Jr in Riyadh.
    The three-sided gladiator-style arena boasted plenty of space for VIP guests and for fighters to prepare, so a fresh deal with Hearn is hardly difficult to imagine.

    Las Vegas
    The traditional home of boxing world title fights.
    It would be foolish to rule out the MGM Grand or another top Vegas venue, including the Raiders’ new Allegiant Stadium.
    The NFL ground was initially selected for Fury’s trilogy match-up with Deontay Wilder.
    However, Arum has indicated the fight will be on at UK prime time, making the US a logistically trickier option.

    Anthony Joshua vs Tyson Fury fight location CONFIRMED with both boxers earning almost £73m each, claims Bob Arum

    A LOCATION for Anthony Joshua’s showdown with Tyson Fury has been confirmed.
    That is according to promoter Bob Arum, who claimed both fighters will earn around £73million each.

    The fight is likely to place at prime time in the UK – but a date is yet to be decided.
    Arum told Barbershop Conversations: “We have a location, that’s true.
    “We have a location and, as far as the date is confirmed, we haven’t zeroed in on a date.
    “It could be as late as June because it would give more time to solve the coronavirus problem. By June, most people will be vaccinated, so it’s possible.

    “And then we would do the fight, pay-per-view in the UK and pay-per-view early evening in the United States.”
    Arum then revealed that both fighters are set to rake in around £100m (£73m) each from the fight.
    He said: “The Joshua vs Fury fight will earn each of the guys close to $100million. Each of the guys.
    “It is the biggest fight in history in the UK, not even close.

    “Around the world it is the biggest fight that people wanna see.”
    Negotiations over the ‘Battle of Britain’ are understood to have progressed smoothly
    Arum, 89, expects the deal to be signed and agreed within the next fortnight.
    AJ’s promoter Eddie Hearn has already revealed the fight is not expected to take place in the UK.
    Hearn identified Saudi Arabia as an option as they could make twice the money.
    He told iFL TV: “The government here don’t invest in bringing mega-events to the UK – they don’t necessarily need to.
    “They’ve got a Premier League football game every weekend, selling 50,000-80,000 [tickets].”

    Joshua beat Kubrat Pulev in December to set up the historic undisputed title decider with Fury.
    Fury, 30-0-1, has predicted he will beat the Watford-born bruiser inside two rounds.
    But Joshua, 24-1, is on a mission to take the 32-year-old’s head clean off his shoulders.

    Joshua vs Fury will be ‘one of the biggest events of the century’ and ‘first humongous fight in social media era’

    ANTHONY JOSHUA and Tyson Fury would be the ‘first humongous fight in the social media era’.
    And with the pair on the verge of potential double header, WBC president Mauricio Sulaiman is in no doubt it will be ‘one of the biggest events of the century’.

    Joshua, 31, and Fury, 32, are still in talks but edging closer to agreeing a two-fight deal.
    It would be the first time in heavyweight history that the WBC, WBA, IBF and WBO belts are at stake.
    And with the Brit stars sharing almost 21million social media followers between them, the historic undisputed title decider promises to be exposed to a bigger audience than ever before.
    Sulaiman told SunSport: “This will be the first humongous fight in the social media era.

    “It is such a different era, from radio, then television, pay-per-view, now with the social media events, they get a completely different magnitude worldwide.
    “If that fight is to happen it’s going to be without a doubt the biggest event of the century and one of the biggest in the sport.”
    The heavyweight division has not crowned an undisputed champion since Lennox Lewis in 1999.
    But an asterix must be attached as at the time, the WBO crown AJ currently owns was not considered a major title.

    Sulaiman oversaw Lewis become WBC king during that time period, where he claimed iconic wins over Evander Holyfield and Mike Tyson.
    Not since then has the boxing’s blue riband division seen such thriving attention.
    But as Fury emerged the victor in a pair of thrillers with Deontay Wilder, 35, to set up a showdown with Joshua, eyeballs are back on the heavy-hitters once again.
    Sulaiman said: “I would say it’s the biggest fight since Lennox Lewis against Mike Tyson or Evander Holyfield.
    “I think each era belongs to it’s history of when it happened, but without a doubt Fury vs Joshua is a huge event that will go to the record books.”

    Jake Paul calls out Conor McGregor protege Dylan Moran after Irish star said he would put Paul brothers ‘to sleep’

    JAKE PAUL has hit back at Conor McGregor’s sparring partner Dylan Moran after the boxer vowed to KO the YouTuber.
    The Irish welterweight recently vowed to teach Paul and his older brother, Logan, ‘some manners’ if they show up to Abu Dhabi for McGregor’s UFC 257 rematch with Dustin Poirier.

    It didn’t take long for Paul to get wind of Moran’s threat, which he responded to his Instagram story.
    He said: “Conor’s taking easy fights. But he’s been sparring in Ireland!”
    In a clearly sarcastic tone, Paul added: “He’s been boxing, going against some phenomenal, exciting Irish talent.
    “This kid must be really good, because Conor’s a ‘good boxer’ right? And then we looked this kid up!

    “Ladies and gentlemen, presenting to you: the big, bad, exciting Irish talent – Dylan Moran, the kid that Conor McGregor is sparring against. Take a look!”

    Paul’s story then cut to footage of Moran being dropped three times in his 2019 loss to Dennis Okoth.
    The final image was of Moran on the canvas, a snap which included the accompanying caption: “This is who Conor is calling a phenomenal boxer.”

    Paul’s trolling of Moran is his latest attempt to get under the skin of The Notorious, who he’s desperate to fight.
    The 23-year-old has been campaigning relentlessly for a bout with the Dubliner since his stunning KO of Nate Robinson last November, going as far as to direct message the former two-division UFC champion on Instagram.

    In an expletive-laden Instagram video, Paul said to Mystic Mac: “What the f** is up you Irish c**t? Good morning Conor McGregor.
    “I know you’re probably beating up old dudes in a bar right now or maybe you’re j**ing off as you’re sick of f***ing your wife, I mean, she’s a four [out of ten], Conor you could do a lot better, but happy Monday!
    “My team sent you a $50 million offer this morning, $50 million cash, proof of funds, the biggest fight offer you’ve ever been offered.
    “But you’re scared to fight me Conor. You duck me as you’re scared to fight a YouTuber.

    “You’re 0-1 as a boxer, I’m 2-0 as a boxer. I just came off the eighth biggest pay-per-view event in history.
    “But you want to fight Dustin Poirier, who has less followers on Instagram than my f***ing dog, that’s a fact.
    “And Dana White, you’re a f***ing p***y, you ugly f***ing bald bitch.
    “You said there’s zero per cent chance of this fight happening but there’s zero percent of you getting some p****.
    “Conor, you’re scared, Dana, you’re scared. Sign the f***ng contract you idiots. Irish b***h, f**k these guys.”

    Floyd Mayweather ‘dating and planning baby with’ British stripper at his club after he’s filmed having lapdance from her

    FLOYD MAYWEATHER is dating the “lead” dancer at his strip club and wants to have a baby with her, a source has claimed.
    The boxer has been seeing Brit-American Anna Monroe, who works at his Vegas strip joint Girl Collection, for months and the couple went official with their relationship on New Year’s Day – telling family and friends in the UK the news over FaceTime, according to a friend.

    And despite “Money” Mayweather claiming he hasn’t had a lap dance in 20 years, an exclusive video obtained by The Sun shows the boxing champ grinning as he enjoys a lap dance from blonde Anna at his club.
    A family friend told The Sun: “They have been seeing each other on and off for a while, whenever Floyd decides.
    “Now Floyd wants another child he only wants Anna to be the mother.
    “They FaceTimed Anna’s family in England on New Year’s Day to tell them officially about their relationship.

    “They are definitely dating now and have spoken about having a baby.
    “They met at Floyd’s club Girl Collection.
    “Anna was born in America but her parents moved to England for work when she was younger.
    “She then moved back to America when she was 22.

    “She went for an interview for the job at Girl Collection but was declined, however as she was leaving she passed Floyd in the corridor.
    “The next day the club called her and asked her to go back in and Floyd was there in person with a candle lit dinner in the strip club to tell her she got the job and she was now the lead girl.”
    Since then Anna has posted photos of her and Mayweather on holiday posing outside the Acropolis in Athens, Greece.
    The pair have also posted pictured of themselves at the exact same locations at the same time in Paris, France; Abu Dhabi, UAE; the Blue Lagoon spa in Iceland; Santorini, Greece and Amsterdam, Holland.

    Floyd’s representative did not comment when asked about his relationship with Anna but he can be clearly seen enjoying a lap dance from the blonde in The Sun’s video.
    Wearing a revealing black dress, the blonde can be seen grinding against the boxer at the club to the Nicki Minaj song Sir.

    The boxer has always maintained that despite owning a strip joint, he never partakes, telling Jimmy Kimmel he had not had a lap dance in two decades.
    “I haven’t had a lap dance in 20 years — just because you own a strip club, it doesn’t mean you have to get a lap dance,” he said in a TV interview ahead of his Conor McGregor fight.
    “I got into the strip club business because I knew that breasts, vaginas, music and alcohol will never go out of style.”

    The source said that Anna’s family are supporting her but they are concerned about the relationship due to Mayweather’s track record with women including his ex Josie Harris who he was accused of attacking.
    “No one is taking the news well,” the friend said.
    “Everyone knows Floyd Mayweather beat his other girlfriend up.
    “Her dad is worried sick but Floyd just reels them in with money.
    “Yeah when they have a child that child will be set up for life but Floyd will eventually get fed up with Anna and hurt her one way or another.
    “Her father tried explaining that to her but she’s so in love with him with can’t see past it, it’s almost like she’s been brainwashed.”

    Mayweather served two months behind bars after he was convicted for attacking his ex Josie and the pair split up.
    Josie, the mom of Mayweather’s three kids, was found dead at the wheel of her car in California on March 9 last year after an accidental drug overdose.
    She was writing a tell-all book about the beatings she suffered at this hands, at the time of her death.
    In an extract of her unpublished book, shared with The Sun at the time, Josie describes how Mayweather allegedly grabbed her by the hair while she was still sleeping, dragged her around the room of her home in Las Vegas “like a rag doll” before punching her repeatedly in the head, screaming: “I’ll f**king kill you”.
    Mayweather denied the allegations in an interview with Katie Couric at the time.
    “Did I restrain a woman that was on drugs,” he told her.
    “Yes, I did. So if they say that’s domestic violence, then, you know what? I’m guilty. I’m guilty of restraining someone.”

    Josie was in the middle of a $20 million lawsuit against Mayweather over the claims she was on drugs – when she died.
    The Sun reached out to Anna and a representative for Floyd for comment but they did not respond.
