Mexico rolled out the red carpet as WBA, WBO, IBF and IBO heavyweight champion Andy Ruiz Jnr gave his first press conference in the country since beating Anthony Joshua in New York.
The unfancied Ruiz Jnr produced a seventh round stoppage of the formidable Briton on June 1 to leave those inside Madison Square Garden stunned.
Ruiz's victory saw him become Mexico's first ever heavyweight champion and he received a heroes welcome as he returned to his home country.
