BREAKING: Anthony Joshua Defeated By Ruiz Jr., Claims Big Wing With Seventh-round
Andy Ruiz Jnr. has pulled off one of the biggest upsets in the history of boxing to become the unified WBA, IBF and WBO heavyweight champion at Madison Square Garden as he defeated Anthony Joshua.
It’s the biggest upset in boxing and the heavyweight category since Hasim Rahman vs Lennox Lewis and James “Buster” Douglas vs Mike Tyson! And Andy Ruiz Jr. knocked down Anthony Joshua to become the new WBA, IBF, WBO and IBO heavyweight champion.
Ruiz (33-1, 22 KOs) spoiled the long-awaited U.S. debut of the unified heavyweight champion to score four knockdowns and record a spectacular upset via seventh-round TKO at Madison Square Garden.
Joshua (22-1, 21 KOs) never quite recovered from a pair of shocking knockdowns in Round 3 that took place shortly after he dropped Ruiz for the first time in the American’s career.
Ruiz never backed down from there despite letting Joshua off the hook in Round 4 when it was clear both fighters were heavily fatigued.
Two knockdowns later in Round 7 and referee Michael Griffin jumped in at 1:27 to wave the fight off as Joshua was weary on his feet.
