Andy Ruiz Jr pulls off shock and beats Anthony Joshua to win World Heavyweight Title




In what can only be described as one of the most entertaining boxing nights in recent history, it had it all.

Ireland’s Katie Taylor managed to win an absolute war.

And although it wasn’t the main event, it felt like it was.

However, the main event featuring Britain’s Anthony Joshua and Mexico’s Andy Ruiz Jr saw a major shock as the Mexican became heavyweight champion of the world.

In a fight Joshua was expected to win, Ruiz pulled off a memorable victory with a seventh round technical knock out.

Ruiz who got caught early on in round 3 had Joshua down twice with seconds of the same round.

The Mexican who looked the stronger took round five and had a convincing sixth.

The knockout blow came in the seventh when the Mexican had Joshua down twice with the second proving decisive.
