Andy Ruiz Jr. Shows His Compassionate Side Ahead Of Bout

Former heavyweight boxing champion Andy Ruiz Jr. helped distribute 500 bags of groceries to families in Las Vegas through the Project Hope initiative.

Ruiz, who won the unified title, will meet Chris Arreola on May 1 in the main event from the Dignity Health Sports Park in Carson, California. The bout will be part of the FOX Sports Premier Boxing Champions pay-per-view event.

Joining Ruiz were his trainer, Eddy Reynoso and heavyweight champion Tyson Fury. 

“Anything is possible,” said Ruiz. “Nobody believed I could become a heavyweight champion…and what do you know? I ended up becoming the first Mexican heavyweight champion of the world.”
 
Ruiz Jr. has stayed involved with charitable efforts thought his career. The Mexican-American star also visited the Disabled Children’s Association and the Charity Committee for Orphans Care in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia before his most recent fight with Anthony Joshua in December 2019. 
 
“This is a really important event for my community,” said Ruiz. “All the Mexican people, all the Raza. There is so much love here, and I just want to show everyone that anything is achievable.” 
 
For more than 60 years, Project HOPE has transformed the health and well-being of people and communities around the world. They work on the front lines of the world’s health challenges, partnering together with communities, health care workers and public health systems to ensure sustainable change.
