Andy Ruiz Jr fans have been left flabbergasted by his incredible 'six-pack' body transformation.
The boxer, who famously beat Anthony Joshua in their first meeting in 2019, is now prepping for an upcoming match-up against Luis Ortiz in Los Angeles.
Ruiz subsequently lost his rematch versus AJ, but managed to follow it up with a win over Chris Arreola in May of last year.

The 32-year-old is clearly taking his next fight very seriously and looks to have lost a ton of weight - with hopes he can grab the win on Sunday (4 September).
'The Destroyer' shared a topless clip on social media and viewers were stunned with his transformation.
"Ruiz in that shape is a handful for any heavyweight imo," one person commented.

A second added: "Best shape I've seen Ruiz in," with a third person thought: "Crazy right!? Dude has a 6 pack almost. Insane change from the last Joshua fight to now."
Another said: "Wow!! Looking cut Bro, I’ve given you bad words after AJs rematch, respect that you’ve come back and worked hard to get in shape."
"Looks ripped. This guy is a beast in the ring and I think he'll soon grab one of the heavyweight belts again," someone else thought.

"Phenomenal. Looking good champ, good luck out there. Viva la Mexico," another added.
During a recent interview with ES News, the former heavyweight champion said: "I think the motivation and disrespect is just between me and myself because I think everybody has their own little, their mind playing games you know?
"So, I think we need to stay focused, we need to motivate ourselves and you know, why do we do this?
"What's the reason why we do this and I feel it's for my people, my family, my kids and you know, we just gotta give it all we got."
He added: "When I hit somebody and they fall straight to the canvas, it’s an amazing feeling. You are unstoppable at that moment. I want to become a champion again and that’s exactly why I am working my a** off."

"Because I know what it takes to win that fight. Both of us are trying to rip each other’s head off and that’s exactly what they are gonna see on September 4."
