And the new champ not only snatched AJ's four world-title belts but also bagged a load of his favourite chocolate bars.
Snickers' official Twitter account tweeted Ruiz this morning to inform him of the delivery.
They wrote: "Congrats again on the upset @Andy_destroyer1! Victory is sweet, but so is the package we are sending you."
And the chubby star fired back: "Send me a dm please. Let’s go snickers!!";
Ruiz also changed his Twitter header picture to a picture of a Snickers bar, the treat he munches before the first bell for a burst of energy.
Before the bout with Joshua, Ruiz revealed he was desperate to become the face of the brand - following in the hallowed footsteps of Mr T.
He said: "I have my Snickers right here with me. We are working on an endorsement deal, we are really close to getting this contract done.
"To tell you the truth since I was six years old my dad would always give me this Snickers before every fight and it gives me energy.
"It gives me everything that I need to do the win. For sure I will be eating this when I fight Anthony Joshua."
