The 29-year-old became Mexico's first ever heavyweight world champion by stopping Joshua inside seven rounds to capture the WBA, WBO and IBF titles.
Ruiz, who has received considerable attention since his shock win over Joshua, was the guest of honour at the Palacio Nacional on Tuesday after taking a private jet back to his native Mexico.
