Coming off one of the most exciting heavyweight title fights in recent memory, Andy Ruiz Jr. and Anthony Joshua meet again Saturday for Ruiz's IBF, WBA (super) and WBO titles at Diriyah Arena in Diriyah, Saudi Arabia, live on DAZN.
Back in June, Ruiz (33-1, 22 KOs) came in as a 15-1 underdog and stormed right into Madison Square Garden in New York on five weeks' to notice to score the seventh-round TKO and capture the titles.
The moment didn't almost come to be, as Joshua (22-1, 21 KOs) looked to be on his way to successfully retaining his belts when he dropped Ruiz early in the third round. However, Ruiz picked himself up from the canvas and sent Joshua down two times in the third before pulling off one of the biggest upsets in boxing history four rounds later.
