Heavyweight champion of the world, Andy Ruiz Jr, has been sentenced to 500 lashings for revealing his breasts while promoting his rematch with Britain's Anthony Joshua in December.

The Mexican-American was spotted posing topless while shooting promotional material for the upcoming fight, leaving a local Saudi passing through the area "sickened and disgusted". Amir Bin Hikin had this to say:

"I was just on my daily walk when I witnessed a large, pale, tattooed prostitute, almost completely uncovered. She was wearing only shorts and boxing gloves, revealing her arms, legs, face, belly and giant breasts.

"I was sickened and disgusted when I saw them. To dress this way in our country is a disgrace, so I immediately reported it to the nearest mutawa (Saudi Arabia's religious police). This bearded Mexican lady will be brought to justice before the eyes of Allah."

​Ruiz Jr reportedly protested, insisting that he is in fact a man, but the Saudi police ignored his pleas, stating "it's not possible; there is no man in Saudi Arabia with such voluptuous tits as these" and the boxer was sentenced to 500 lashings.
