"He's working really hard in the gym which is a factor.
"His diet? Fish, salmon, pasta on sparring days. Once in a while we have had a cheat day but nothing too crazy, man.
"The goal is to keep him eating clean, keep him eating healthily.

"Feeling light is what we're going for. We want to keep him light.
"We're not targeting a specific weight - maybe the same weight or a little bit less. But we want to feel light so it's easier for him to move on his feet."
Ruiz Jr believes that losing weight will allow him to be much leaner and quicker for the Joshua rematch.
