Andy Ruiz vs Damian Knyba: Weigh-In Results & Betting Odds

Heavyweights Andy Ruiz Jr. (35-2-1, 22 KOs) and Damian Knyba (17-1, 11 KOs) stepped on the scale Friday in Newark, New Jersey, with Ruiz, the former unified heavyweight champion, coming in at his lightest in eight years.

The heavyweight division will certainly be tuned into this fight, as Ruiz still carries a big name and a win over Knyba puts him in the mix with all the top names. Ruiz is about a 3-1 favorite, but oddsmakers are a little hesitant to make him a bigger favorite because he has been out of the ring for the last two years.
