John Ruiz


 

John ?The Quiet Man? Ruiz (born January 4, 1972), a native of Isabela, Puerto Rico who lives in Massachusetts, is the first Hispanic/Latino world heavyweight champion in professional boxing history. He currently is the two-time World Boxing Association (WBA) world Heavyweight Champion. His professional record is 41-5-1-1 (the last digit is for a no-contest), with 28 knockouts. Frustrated by years of criticism from the boxing press and fans, he retired upon his second loss of the WBA Title on April 30, 2005 (to James ?Lights-Out? Toney). Ruiz quickly ?un-retired? on the news that Toney tested positive for anabolic steroids after their match. The official outcome, a unanimous-decision defeat, was changed to a no-contest; the WBA ordered that Ruiz retain the title.
