  "account": "Andy Ruiz Jr., who has experienced four comeback fights since 2021, suffered a loss to Damian Knyba recently. Despite this defeat, Ruiz remains determined to fight again and even hinted at a possible rematch with Knyba. The seven-round knockdown that Ruiz received proved to be the deciding factor in the fight, as the official scores favored Knyba. However, Knyba's use of holding tactics throughout the match is also a point of contention. Ruiz acknowledged that holding did play a role, but he believes it was not the sole reason for his loss. He is adamant about returning to the ring and improving his performance. At 35-3-1 with 22 knockouts, Ruiz is nearing 37 years old, leading many to question whether he has another serious shot at a heavyweight title.",
