In his last in-ring appearance, Ruiz stopped former world title challenger Ray Austin in the fourth round on 五月 14 in Studio City, 加利福尼亞州.
“I cannot wait to get back into the ring,” 魯伊斯說. “I’ve got some thunder coming with me to Detroit.”

“I am very excited about bringing another sensational show to Detroit that will feature local talent as well as some of the best fighters from around the country and the world,” said Dmitriy Salita of Salita Promotions. “I have a vision of helping Detroit become known as America’s Greatest Comeback City and the East Coast hub of professional boxing. With each show, we are showcasing great fighters and building a fan base locally and around the world.”
Giving the “Detroit Brawl” crowd its usual international flavor will be red-hot welterweight KO artist Bakhtiyer Eubov (10-0, 10 科斯) of Aktjubinsk, Kazakhstan making a very special six-round appearance, along with welterweights Giorgi Gelashvili (4-0, 2 科斯) Brooklyn via Georgia and Serdar Hadurbadyev (2-0, 2 科斯) of Turkmenabat, Turkmenistan in other six-round bouts.
