Andy Ruiz Could Have Faced Ukrainian Heavyweight

Heavyweight boxer Vladyslav Sirenko revealed that he was close to a showdown with American former world champion Andy Ruiz.

- If you had the chance to choose an opponent now, who would you step into the ring with?

- I can say that I was offered to fight Andy Ruiz. I agreed, but the bout ultimately fell through due to the other side. Ruiz ended up fighting Jarrell Miller instead.

I would gladly share the ring with various top athletes. Right now in my career, I’m at a point where I need to be ready to step into the ring with any of the top fighters. I will be ready, said Sirenko.

Ruiz and Miller met in the summer of 2024. The fight ended in a draw, and Andy injured his hand during the bout.
