Tyson Fury Calls Out Andy Ruiz for Pricing Himself Out of Fight
Tyson Fury is gearing up for an August return but has ruled out Andy Ruiz Jr. as a potential opponent after the former champion allegedly 'priced himself out' of the matchup.
Tyson Fury is set to return to the ring in August, aiming for a highly anticipated clash with Anthony Joshua. However, negotiations for a warm-up fight with former champion Andy Ruiz Jr. have collapsed, with Fury claiming Ruiz has 'priced himself out' of the opportunity.
In an interview with iFL TV, Fury stated, "All of these rumours of like Andy Ruiz, I can clear that up. Andy Ruiz has been contacted as a warm-up fight because that is all he is, a little, fat, bum, dosser." He emphasized that Ruiz's financial demands were unrealistic for what he described as a 'keep busy' fight.
Ruiz has not fought since a controversial draw with Jarrell Miller in 2024, and his absence from the ring has raised questions about his career trajectory since his victory over Joshua in 2019. With Fury's August date approaching, he is actively searching for a new opponent.
Meanwhile, Fury's younger brother, Tommy Fury, has also been in the spotlight. WBC cruiserweight champion Noel Mikaelian has expressed interest in a title shot against Tommy, but only if Tyson agrees to fight him next. This exchange has sparked speculation about potential matchups, although Tommy remains unranked among the top contenders.
