Andy Ruiz Jr tattoo goes horribly wrong as fan’s inking of hero looks more like a sumo wrestler

ANDY RUIZ JR’s destruction of Anthony Joshua was a work of art – but his biggest fan’s tattoo of the Mexican-American is anything but.

Ruiz famously snatched the WBA, IBF and WBO belts away from Brit star AJ in June 2019, becoming the ultimate underdog hero.

So much so that he inspired fans to celebrate his stunning victory forever.

One supporter of Ruiz got the former champion tattooed on their body with a shot of his face and iconic picture of Joshua being floored.

The 31-year-old rightfully thanked his loyal fans for their support on his social media, with the ink there for all to see.

But one botched tatt gained the wrong kind of publicity – with fans in hysterics as Ruiz looks more like a sumo wrestler than world heavyweight champion.

World Boxing News reported some of the harsh comments on the super-fan’s dodgy ink in 2019.

One said: “That artist is trash lol.”

Another said: “dam boi get your money back and than cut that s*** off. cringe as f*** Sorry to say. But that’s a TERRIBLE job.”

One added: “What is this abomination lmao.”

Despite Ruiz’s heroics that night in New York, he admittedly let himself and his fans down as he ballooned up to 20STONE against Joshua in their rematch.

Since the loss, only Ruiz’s second in 35 fights, he has relocated to Canelo Alvarez’s adopted US home of San Diego.

There, he has dramatically transformed his body under esteemed coach Eddy Reynoso, dropping to 18st 4lb.

It was the much needed structure he was missing in his training camp, having lost focus while doing things his own way after winning the belts.

Ruiz returns to the ring on Saturday against against Chris Arreola, 40, his first since defeat to AJ and switching gyms.
