Anthony Joshua’s unbeaten record ends as he loses heavyweight titles to Andy Ruiz by shocking knockout [video]

British boxer Anthony Oluwafemi Joshua’s unbeaten run came to an unexpected end when he was knocked out by underdog Andy Ruiz to whom he lost his heavyweight titles at Madison Square Garden on Saturday. 

Ruiz recorded a monster upset, knocking down the previously unbeaten world heavyweight champion four times to take the World Boxing Association, International Boxing Federation and World Boxing Organization titles, 

Joshua suffered a major and unforeseen setback in his plan to dominate a division that includes Deontay Wilder and Tyson Fury.

Ruiz came into the fight as a massive 20-1 underdog. But he won it in the middle of the seventh round when the referee stopped it at 1:26 of the round after the fourth knockdown.

Ruiz, sent to the canvas once himself, knocked Joshua down twice in the third round and twice more in the seventh.

Joshua had a massive height and reach advantage as he weighed in at a chiselled 255 pounds compared to the portly Ruiz, who beefed up to 268 pounds compared to 250 for his most recent fight.

Ruiz, who has won four fights in a row, looked fearless and poised while Joshua — who had won all 22 of his previous bouts — never seemed to recover from the first knockdown early in the third.
