According to him, power of an experience allowed Ruiz Jr. to create miracles in his life.

ā€œThe video happened some days ago where Anthony Joshua proceeded to let Andy Ruiz take pictures with his heavyweight championship belts.

ā€œAndy has never touched a heavyweight championship belt but the moment he touched it and took pictures with it, something took place – ā€˜believed in’ was immediately transferred to Andy.

ā€œAndy subconsciously had the opportunity to experience what it will be like to actually own those belts.
