Andy Ruiz Jr. is slowly getting back as a heavyweight title contender after dominating Luis Ortiz.
The former unified heavyweight world champion knocked down “King Kong” Ortiz thrice to win via unanimous decision.
Next in line for the boxer who had one of the greatest upsets in boxing history is to face the former WBC king Deontay Wilder.
Wilder, who has been out of the picture since being destroyed by Tyson Fury in their rematch, will make a return to face Robert Helenius before eventually fighting the Mexican Ortiz.
The Ruiz-Wilder bout is a big chance to happen as both heavyweights are under the boxing promoter Al Haymon.
“We’re always looking for great exciting fights we love to give the fans,” said Wilder, who was on ringside during the Ruiz-Ortiz clash.
“So if that’s what is lined up next, I’ve got to handle business and after that, we can get it on.”
