"I just wanted to take a break. I already have 30 fights," explained Ruiz

"I wanted to be with the family, I started investing my money. I started building houses. But every boxers needs that little break and now I've got to come back harder."

He says he has a, ''recharged battery," adding, "you've got to get that hunger back in you and that line to come out."

For the bout with Parker, Ruiz trained in the mountains of Big Bear at the Summit Gym with Abel Sanchez, who is best known for his work with Gennady Golovkin and Murat Gassiev. Now, the once-beaten heavyweight is at Legendz Gym in Norwalk, California and working with trainer Emanuel Robles and his crew.

Chisora rejected 80 k from Hearn for fight with Joyce

 

"After his victory on Saturday, Glowacky said he wants to meet with me," Vlasov said. - I am very happy about this and in my turn I note that the representatives of my team and I have personally repeatedly offered to hold this fight numerous time in the past, but have been refused every time. But if Krzysztof Glovatsky really wants to come out against me in the ring, then let his representatives contact us, and we will agree without any problems. He is an excellent boxer, a former world champion and I think we will have a very good, spectacular fight. If you manage to organize it in the very near future - for example, within the finals of the super series on May 11, then I will be really happy with this opportunity. I have long been striving for big battles, big challenges and fighting against Glowacky - that's exactly what I want. "

The Hayemaker, who wants Joyce to get the best opponent possible, said to the South London Press & Mercury: “I’ve offered Chisora £80,000 to fight in March against Joe and he straight-up said no – £80k to fight a two-fight novice.

“This was a couple of weeks back. I probably can rustle up a bit more on the undercard [of Haye’s fight with Tony Bellew on May 5].

“Let’s keep public pressure on Dereck to fight Joe Joyce on May 5, drive him mad. We need to force him to take this fight.

“Dereck Chisora is a well-seasoned campaigner. If he doesn’t fight a 3-0 fighter, although he is an Olympic silver medallist, after coming off a loss then what else are his options.”

 

On March 4, at the gala in London, the former European champion and the challenger to the title of heavyweight champion Dereck Chisora (27-8, 19 KO) are to return to the ring. This can be a busy time for an Englishman, because Eddie Hearn, who promotes boxer, also plans to perform at the gala organized on May 5.

The 34-year-old Englishman last boxed in November, when he unexpectedly lost to Agit Kabayel. The March performance is to be for Chisora to wipe out a more serious challenge in the coming weeks.

Hearn thinks about bringing Chisory with Carlos Takam (35-4-1, 37 KO), the recent rival of Anthony Joshua and the slayer of Marcin Rekowski in May. A boxer from Cameroon has already agreed to such a fight.
