Andy Ruiz Jr Form
Andy Ruiz Jr is a former world heavyweight champion with a professional record of 35-2 (22 KOs).
Ruiz Jr won his first 29 professional fights to land himself a shot at a world title back in December 2016.
He came up short on the night as he lost to Joseph Parker by majority decision in a fight for the vacant WBO crown.
The 34-year-old rebounded with a first-round knockout of Devin Vargas, and backed that up with a points win over Kevin Johnson and a fifth-round stoppage of Alexander Dimitrenko.
Ruiz Jr then agreed to challenge WBA (Super), IBF, WBO and IBO heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua at short notice in June 2019.
‘The Destroyer’ stepped in after his opponent on Saturday, Jarrell Miller, failed a pre-fight drug test, and he shocked the world with a sensational stoppage win.
He survived a knockdown and then floored Joshua multiple times before the fight was finally waved off in the seventh round.
Ruiz Jr failed to retain the title, losing the rematch via unanimous decision, and he has fought just twice since then, beating Chris Arreola and Luis Ortiz on points.
Jarrell Miller Form
Jarrell Miller is an American heavyweight fighter with a professional record of 26-1 (22 KOs) and 1 draw.
Miller debuted in 2009 and at one stage in his career he also competed in kickboxing, going 2-2 with his two losses being decision defeats to the legendary Mirko Cro Cop.
His first notable boxing match came in July 2017 when he stopped Gerald Washington in the eighth round, and he followed that up with a ninth-round stoppage of Mariusz Wach.
The 36-year-old American then beat Johann Duhaupas on points, before knocking out Tomasz Adamek in the second round and Bogdan Dinu in the further.
Those victories earned him a world title fight with Anthony Joshua in June 2019, but a failed drug test forced him out of the contest and it would be three years before ‘Big Baby’ returned to the ring.
Miller beat Ariel Bracamonte on points and then knocked out Derek Cardenas in the fourth round in his two outings in 2022.
He then fought twice in 2023 too, stopping Lucas Browne in the sixth round before being stopped in the 10th by Daniel Dubois.
Verdict
Andy Ruiz Jr has been on the shelf for almost two years, but he is clearly the better fighter.
He is backed out outclass Jarrell Miller and get the nod from the judges at the end of the fight.
