Andy Ruiz Jr hired another new coach
Andy Ruiz Jr "lacks desire" and "finds an excuse not to do something," according to former coach Abel Sánchez, but the former heavyweight champion has been supported to realize his potential.
Ruiz Jr teamed up with Eddy Reynoso, Saúl & # 39; Canelo's trainer Álvarez, which means that the two most prominent boxers in Mexico now share a gym.
"Eddy Reynoso has to keep him in the gym, get him to work and get rid of the baggage around him (the people around him that allow him to do things he shouldn't do)," said L & # 39; former coach of Ruiz, Jr Sanchez. Sky Sports.

"Andy has to listen. Eddy is a great coach, one of the best in boxing right now."
Ruiz Jr had Sánchez in his corner when he lost a majority decision to Joseph Parker with the WBO title at stake in 2016.
He then joined forces with Manny Robles and had his greatest success in dethroning Anthony Joshua, but after losing the rematch, he separated from his new coach after admitting "to party" and " to be overweight".
Sanchez said about his supervision period Ruiz Jr: "I'm not here to babysit, I'm here to train and develop him if he wants to listen. He can't develop someone one who won't try anything. "
"It has been difficult for me because I don't like laziness. We work very hard. I have too many people here working hard. For one person to come up with things that no one what else can not do? This is not correct. "
"He doesn't look like a prototypical heavyweight, but he has a lot of skills, incredible abilities."
"He lacks desire. He doesn't want to do things. Find an excuse for not doing something."
"It's a shame because it could do great things."
Ruiz Jr works with former trainer Manny Robles
Ruiz Jr has announced his intention for the Mexican national day of Cinco de Mayo to join the Californian gymnasium run by Reynoso, where Canelo is already the established main name.
The Spanish-speaking stable also includes Ryan García, Oscar Valdez, Luis Nery, Julio César Martínez and Frank Sánchez.
Criticism of Ruiz Jr's dedication by his former coach Sánchez echoes what Robles, the last rejected man from his corner, told him Sky Sports at the beginning of this year.
"My job is not to call her everyday," said Robles. "He is a man, not a boy, and should be treated as such.
"You can't convince someone to want something.
"The fame and the money have been overwhelming for Andy. He must know how to deal with it. Maybe after that defeat, the match humiliated him."
"Stay humble or humble yourself.
"The first three months after beating Joshua on June 1, I had very little communication with him."
