The biggest rematch in recent boxing history is taking centre stage this weekend as Anthony Joshua sets his sights on taking back the titles he lost to Andy Ruiz Jr in June of this year.
Madison Square Garden was the arena for one of boxing’s most iconic sights. Joshua was making his US debut, and he was doing it against heavy underdog and unfancied Ruiz Jr.
However, by round three it was clear that this Mexican was here for a scrap and ready to shock the world. And shock the world he did as in the seventh, AJ’s world came tumbling down, much like he did to the canvas, as the referee called off the fight.
Joshua had lost his belts and lost all the power in the heavyweight division.
Fast forward six months and a lot have been made about how AJ will go into the rematch. Will he change his style?
