    Dude got the chance of a lifetime and should now be set for life.
    You think this would have happened anytime soon if Miller had not been such a POS?

    Ruiz´s career wasn´t really going anywhere. And look at him now. He got a lucky break and took full advantage.

    A frail shell of Kovalev, somehow going 34 rounds before he got KTFO'd again.

    Well, he was lucky to get that opportunity (which changed his life).

    Oh, no. Not lucky to win.

    Lucky as in Baby Miller was the challenger. All he had to do was past what? 1 of 3 tests? That kind of luck. Miller popping and Hearn out of luck finding someone else, gave Ruiz about the closest thing to winning a lottery. That kind of luck!!

    He won't beat him again, and that will confirm the luck.

    Luck luck lucky

    Dillian Whyte.

    -had a chance to fight Rivas and get a nice payday even after failing a test only a few days ago.
    -might get cleared and fight again soon because big boys will swipe all the dirt under the carpet.
    -weirdly enough, now actually has a good excuse to continue ducking all the title shots and eliminators.
    -his arch-nemesis Dereck "Delboy" Chisora has rocketed after sensationally destroying Szpilka and Price, making Dillian's spectacular come from behind KO from last year look even more phenomenal.
    -finished 4th in Celebrity Masterchef so if his boxing career is finished there are still lots of interesting work opportunities in the future

    Even though it was through his own stupidity I would have to say Errol Spence Jr without a doubt. To walk away from his car wreck with minimal damage after flipping his vehicle at high speed and being ejected, no broken bones or serious injury as far as we know. Very luck that he lives to fight another day in and out the ring.

    Anthony Yarde for getting a big pay day against Kov despite having a laughable resume and somehow manufactured WBO mandatory by the Warren Boxing Association .

    Oh and David Price for somehow getting decent pay days despite everything.

    I'd say Mr. Certified Scuba Diver aka Bum Squad Wilder. Even though it cost him a thousand king's ransoms from his future earnings, providing he was actually going to be able to summon the courage to step up to the plate someday and quit running in the opposite direction from a $100 mill payday that is, he breathed an almighty sigh of relief when that obese Mexican Oliver Hardy lookalike macho man stepped in at late notice to do his dirty work for him for a mere tiny fraction of the purse he would've earned for doing his own dirty work.

    Yeah, I just took it as whoever said he was lucky originally meant he was lucky to beat Joshua. You make a good point.

    Andy Ruiz was probably lying on the sofa stuffing his chubby face watching TV and it comes on saying Miller fails a drug test, Ruiz nearly chokes on a spicy chicken wing then the phone rings. The rest is history.
