Nigerian-born British boxer, AnthonyJoshua today in Diriyah, Saudi Arabia defeated United States-Mexican, Andy Ruiz Jr in a unanimous decision to reclaim his three World Heavyweight Boxing titles he lost to the same man earlier this year.
Ruiz stopped Joshua in the 7th round when both boxers squared up at Madison Square Garden, New York in June.
Joshua returned to England to lick his wound of his defeat but immediately got back to the gymnasium to train harder for today’s make or mar bout and eventually triumphed over his former conqueror to reclaim his three World Heavyweight Boxing titles.
Although both Joshua and Ruiz Jr were bloodied on the night of fury, the umpires scored Joshua more points on the scorecard to arrive at a unanimous decision.
