Robles highlights Ruiz's prolonged absence from the ring since his loss to Joshua in December 2019, attributing it to celebratory distractions and personal struggles, including mental health issues and marital separation. Despite parting ways with Ruiz after the Joshua rematch, Robles believes Ruiz should seize the opportunity to compete in Saudi Arabia, emphasizing the potential for lucrative matchups and career resurgence in the heavyweight division.

This decision comes after a previous attempt to order an eliminator fight between Andy Ruiz Jr. and Deontay Wilder failed to materialize.

This marks the second major bout that has slipped away from the former IBF, WBA, and WBO heavyweight champion, as he previously failed to reach an agreement with WBC champion Tyson Fury , demanding a reported $20 million, which was ultimately refused. It seems that Ruiz is unwilling to accept the reality that he is no longer a heavyweight champion and that his career has suffered due to his inactivity. Since 2019, he has only fought twice in the span of four years.
