Since his debut in January 2023, he has won 13 matches in his career, knocked down his opponents 10 times, and has a wingspan of 2.06 meters. He is regarded as the future of heavyweight. But there are many potential threats on his path to boxing, and Richard Torres Jr. may well be the strongest among them.

Richard Torres Jr. is from California, USA. He is 26 years old and is known as the "Second Generation Ruiz". He is the super heavyweight silver medalist at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics and the first American boxer to reach the super heavyweight final since Riddick Bowe at the 1988 Seoul Olympics. His professional record is equally outstanding, with 13 victories and 11 KOs. He is a typical slugger. In the match to defend the NABF heavyweight championship in October this year, Richard Torres Jr. faced the Italian "Gladiator" Guido Vianello. Although he received some heavy punches, he finally won by a large score. He is currently ranked 12th in the world. Among the four major boxing organizations, he is ranked in the top 15 except for the WBA, and the IBF is ranked 4th.

Comparing Moses Itoma and Richard Torres Jr., both have their own advantages. Moses Itaoma is young and has a rapid rise. His punches are powerful and he is used to overpowering his front hand in the first round. Richard Torres Jr. has relatively rich experience. He has experienced big scenes in the Olympics and professional arenas. He has comprehensive skills, a tough boxing style, and his fighting ability has been tested in actual combat.
