Hollywood legend Sylvester Stallone has thrown his weight behind Andy Ruiz Jr. as the Mexican bids to cement his position as heavyweight champion. Ruiz Jr. battles Anthony Joshua for a second time this Saturday night, and having worked with both on the recent ‘One Night’ documentary, it seems clear where ‘Rocky Balboa’ is putting his money. ‘The Destroyer’ defeated Joshua back in June when dropping the Briton four times in what Stallone has labeled a ‘true Rocky story’ since. Stallone is now wishing Ruiz Jr. all the best as we count down the hours to the second clash. “ANDY RUIZ, JR: The reigning heavyweight champion of the world! I am privileged to have “The Mexican Rocky!” holding the shirt from the 2nd #Rocky film. “Good luck on your upcoming title defense on December 7 on @dazn_usa. The shirt is available at @slystalloneshop.” Replying to one of his idols, Ruiz said: “Thanks brotha that really means a lot. I’m so thankful of u supporting me much love to you thank u again.”
