The 30-year-old has been happy to splash the cash and enjoy the riches that success brought him, ahead of his return to ring against Chris Arreola this weekend.

From super cars to luxury mansions, Ruiz Jr is enjoying his fame – but it did come with its downsides after going off the rails.

THE CARS

Before the Joshua bout, Ruiz Jr had earned around £770,000 from boxing. Not bad, but certainly not top dollar.

For stepping into the ring with AJ in June 2019, he received £5.36m – so what did he do? He built a garage of cars to envy.

Incredibly, since knocking out Joshua Ruiz Jr has amassed a car collection worth £783,275.

Most recently, he added a Mercedes G Wagon G550 worth a whopping £96,275.

The Twin-Turbocharged 4.0-liter V8 G Wagon G550 can reach 0-60 in just 5.6 seconds, and it’s 416 Horsepower engine is limited to 130mph.

“Another one,” Ruiz said speaking of his G Wagon purchase.

“I went to drop off the Rolls-Royce and the guy that gave me the Rolls Royce I went to go drop him off and he brought up in this car and I think he done it on purpose and I just fell in love with it, I had to get it.”

However, she certainly appears to be supportive. The brunette was ringside to see her husband victorious against Joshua.

Before and after the fight, cameras in Madison Square Garden panned to Julie – who was seen cheering her man on.

Weeks later, Julie sat alongside Ruiz Jr in the back of an open car for a parade in Imperial Valley where fans honoured the return of the hero.

A GENEROUS WINNER

Ever the gent, Ruiz Jr is humble enough to remember where he’s from.

Despite building a fleet of cars to die for, as well as splashing on a brand new home, he’s a total mummy’s boy.

The first thing he bought with his new-found wealth was, in fact, a car for his mother.

He joked: “I messed up all of her cars when I was young,” after revealing the purchase.

Knowing he’s set-up for life, Ruiz Jr is also going to give back to his community.

He went to to lose to Joshua in the Suadi rematch, but is looking to get back into heavyweight contention this weekend.
