ANDY RUIZ JR'S body transformation "doesn't make any sense" to former heavyweight world champ Mike Tyson.
The Mexican is less than two weeks away from a mouthwatering rematch against Anthony Joshua - who he ripped the WBA, WBO, IBF and IBO belts from back in June.

It went down as one of boxing's biggest ever shocks when the Snickers-loving Mexican elevated himself to stardom by flooring AJ three times on the way to a seventh-round KO win.
But since that fight, Ruiz Jr has switched up his diet to include mainly fish and pasta and looks to be sporting a much leaner physique.
But according to Tyson, who terrorised the heavyweight division in the 1980s and 90s, this might not be the best idea.

Speaking to Parimatch, as reported by The Metro, Tyson said: "I just dont think that makes any sense.
"But everybody has their own thing, their vanity gets the best of them, they say 'Hey, I wanna look good doing this stuff', I dont know.
"But Im a believer that if its not broken, dont fix it.
"The only thing Ruiz has to do is do what he did last fight.
"Thats all he has to live off of, from his memories, so to speak, from the last fight."
The Mexican fighter, 30, tipped the scales at 19st 11lbs for the first fight with AJ in New York this June.
But he is likely to come in much lighter come December 7, with SunSport reporting on how his nutritionist has pushed a healthier diet.

Despite Tyson not sure this is the best preparation, he isn't sure who will triumph in Diriyah for Part II.
He added: "I dont know because anything is possible.
"Theyre both great human beings, I like both of them personally, but this is a fight and I just hope the best man wins."
