Watch a 16-year-old Andy Ruiz drop Andrei Arlovski in sparring.

Andy Ruiz’ stock has plummeted since losing to Anthony Joshua last year, but the former WBA heavyweight champion is back in the headlines after posting video footage of a sparring session with none other than UFC veteran Andrei Arlovski.

According to Ruiz, he was just 16-years-old at the time, but that didn’t stop the Mexican-American from holding his own against Arlovski and even dropping the former UFC heavyweight champ with a right hand.

Check out the video below.
