Joshua lands a bit shot early on but Ruiz meets it, there’s a flurry and down goes Joshua for a third time early in the seventh! Oh dear! Referee Mike Griffin is talking to Joshua in the corner after what appears to be a slip and ... he’s waved it off! Andy Ruiz is the heavyweight champion of the world in one of the biggest upsets in history!
Round 6
Joshua still looking a bit wary of Ruiz’s hand speed and power. He’s content to circle the ring and jab away. A mostly uneventful first half the the round, then Ruiz lands a left on Joshua’s jaw. Then another! Then Joshua ducks under another lunging left hook. Ruiz really letting his hands go.
Round 5
Both men still a bit gun-shy early in the fifth as the fight continues in the familiar pattern of Ruiz chasing and Joshua fighting in a slow retreat. Ruiz missing a pair of big shots early. Joshua lands a counter flush but Ruiz walks right through it. Joshua then wobbles Ruiz with a massive left hook that Ruiz somehow absorbs. Joshua looks fresher here and appears to be waiting for his opening.
