Andy Ruiz shocks the world and brutally knocks out Anthony Joshua in Madison Square Garden




In what can only be described as one of the biggest upsets in sports history, Anthony Joshua was spectacually knocked out in style by Mexico’s Andy Ruiz Jr.

From the first bell, Ruiz seemed to be the far more comfortable and not just out-boxed but outclassed Joshua.

The main action came in round 3 where Joshua upped the tempo and caught Ruiz with a massive left hook that knocked Ruiz onto the canvass for the first time in his career.

But wait, there’s more!

Ruiz sprung back to this feet and received a devastating right hand from Joshua but took it well and hit back with his fast hands, knocking Joshua silly. He hit Joshua with 3 or 4 more punches and Joshua went down.

Barely making the count, Joshua got battered for the rest of the round and got knocked down again just making his feet before the bell.

The fight was somewhat calm for the next 3 rounds but round 7 saw Ruiz come out hard and knock Joshua down again twice, this time it was the end for AJ.

The Mexican is now the first Mexican World Heavyweight Champion in history.
