Snickers' official Twitter account tweeted Ruiz this morning to inform him of the delivery.

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.
