Anthony Joshua has suffered a shock defeat in his heavyweight bout against unfancied Mexican fighter Andy Ruiz Jr in New York.

The Briton, 29, has lost all three of his IBF, WBA and WBO heavyweight titles after being stopped in the seventh round in front of a disbelieving crowd at Madison Square Garden.

He had spent much of rounds four to six recovering from what was possibly the most damaging round of his career in the third, during which he was knocked down twice.

Ruiz sent him to the deck two more times in the seventh round, and – despite returning to his feet – referee Mike Griffin stepped in to bring the clash to an end.

It was the first time Joshua had tasted defeat, leaving his underdog opponent to become the first ever Mexican-American heavyweight world champion. Sky Sports News </s> NEW YORK — Andy Ruiz flattened Anthony Joshua twice in the seventh round and capped one of boxing's biggest upsets to win his share of the heavyweight championship Saturday night at Madison Square Garden.

Ruiz won it at 1:27 by TKO in the seventh round to become the surprise champ in a bout that had shades of Buster Douglas' upset over Mike Tyson in 1990. Ruiz barely was on anyone's heavyweight radar when he was summoned as a replacement to fight champion Joshua in front of a packed Garden.

All he did was dominate the British champion.

Ruiz knocked down Joshua twice in the third round and did it two more times in the seventh before referee Mike Griffin ended the fight.

He's stepped in after fighting on April 20, when he stopped Alexander Dimitrenko. Jarrell Miller's failed drug tests sent the challenger to the sideline.

Ruiz (33-1, 21 KO's) seized the opportunity and made boxing history to win the WBA/IBF/WBO/IBO championships. </s> Andy Ruiz Jr has caused one of the biggest shocks in the history of heavyweight boxing by stopping Anthony Joshua in seven rounds to inflict his first defeat and win the IBF, WBA and WBO titles.

Andy Ruiz Jr has caused one of the biggest shocks in the history of heavyweight boxing by stopping Anthony Joshua in seven rounds to inflict his first defeat and win the IBF, WBA and WBO titles.

On the occasion of the defending champion's US debut, at New York's revered Madison Square Garden, he was dethroned as the world's leading heavyweight by a significant underdog who took advantage of becoming a late-notice opponent to secure a life-changing win.

Brooklyn's Jarrell Miller had been chosen as Joshua's opponent until a six-month suspension ruled him out and gave Ruiz Jr an unexpected opportunity with little over a month's notice.

When he was knocked down in the third round, he appeared on the verge of losing as routinely as Joshua's previous 22 opponents, but he immediately responded with two knockdowns that left Joshua fortunate to survive.

If Joshua appeared to recover throughout the fourth and fifth, in the sixth he again became hesitant even if there was little sign that he was about to be stopped.

Two further knockdowns in the seventh again left him fighting for survival, and though he returned to his feet after each, he was no longer able to defend himself, forcing referee Mike Griffin's intervention while he was on his still on his feet after one minute and 27 seconds.

It was a straight right followed by a left hook that sent Ruiz Jr, who had been criticised for being fleshy and over 20lbs heavier than the champion at Friday's weigh-in, to the canvas in the third round.

Joshua had previously struggled with punching down against smaller opponents - his challenger had repeatedly fallen short with the jab because of the size disadvantage he faced - but there was no suggestion that he was about to suffer the most damaging round of his career.

When Ruiz Jr returned to his feet, Joshua immediately pursued the stoppage but Ruiz Jr fought to survive, landing a right flush on Joshua's chin, forcing the first heavy knockdown before another with two left hooks after Joshua had beat the count.

That dramatic round's end came with Joshua on the verge of a shock stoppage, but after spending much of the fourth and the fifth - in which he landed a powerful left hand - recovering, he struggled to build any momentum in the sixth.

Joshua became cautious in a way he never previously had against Dillian Whyte, who also once hurt him, and Wladimir Klitschko, who knocked him down, and Ruiz Jr capitalised by landing to the body.

A right hook then hurt Joshua again in the seventh before further lefts and rights forced him down, and as he returned to his feet, a further assault knocked him over as he again beat the count.

But he remained sufficiently unsteady that Griffin rightly rescued him from further punishment.

Joshua-Ruiz Jr had been intended to showcase the defending champion to the only territory in boxing he had yet to convince, yet if he again proved how entertaining he can be he suffered his first defeat, lost his three world titles and suffered significant damage to his reputation.

An immediate rematch may be inevitable, but at the venue where heavyweight greats Muhammad Ali, Joe Frazier, Lennox Lewis and Evander Holyfield enjoyed some of their finest nights, he suffered perhaps his worst as Mexico's first world heavyweight champion was instead crowned.

"I can't believe I just made my dream come true, the sky is the limit," said Ruiz Jr, like Joshua aged 29.

"That was the first time I've been down on the floor and it just made me stronger.

"I'm a Mexican warrior, I have that blood in me. I just made history for Mexico."

Joshua was booed by many of the spectators who cheered him to the ring, and he said: "Respect to Andy Ruiz Jr. Sorry I let my fans down."

"This will devastate him," said his promoter, Eddie Hearn.

"He will come back. It's now down to the rematch and winning that fight.

"He must win that fight and he will do anything he can to regain his title.

"To get back to the heights he has been, he must win that rematch." </s> Andy Ruiz Jr. entered Saturday night’s heavyweight championship bout against Anthony Joshua as a 17-1 underdog to the IBF, IBO, WBA, and WBO heavyweight world champion.

The physical difference between the husky Ruiz and the chiseled physique of Joshua only helped to offer what most thought to be an obvious visual of the gap between the two fighters, but when they stepped into the ring at Madison Square Garden, none of that mattered. Ruiz Jr. started slow as Joshua pelted him with jabs, but came alive in the third round, sending the champ to the canvas after being knocked down himself.

From there, he only gained confidence, and in the seventh, Joshua tasted the mat two more times, ultimately leading to the referee to call a stop to the fight after he turned to his corner and was without his mouthpiece, looking fairly disinterested. Ruiz leapt around the ring in celebration, suddenly the new heavyweight champion of the world. </s> Andy Ruiz flattened Anthony Joshua twice in the seventh round and capped one of boxing's biggest upsets to win his share of the heavyweight championship on Saturday night at Madison Square Garden.

NEW YORK — Andy Ruiz had six weeks to prepare for the fight of his life.

He'll have a lifetime to celebrate one of boxing's biggest stunners in heavyweight history.

Ruiz flattened Anthony Joshua twice in the seventh round and capped one of boxing's biggest upsets to win his share of the heavyweight championship Saturday night at Madison Square Garden.

Ruiz won it at 1:27 by TKO in the seventh round to become the surprise champ in a bout that had shades of Buster Douglas' upset over Mike Tyson in 1990. Ruiz barely was on anyone's heavyweight radar when he was summoned as a replacement to fight champion Joshua in front of a packed Garden.

All he did was dominate the British champion.

The 270-pound Ruiz knocked down Joshua twice in the third round and did it two more times in the seventh before referee Mike Griffin ended the fight.

He's stepped in after fighting on April 20, when he stopped Alexander Dimitrenko. Jarrell Miller's failed drug tests sent the challenger to the sideline.

Ruiz (33-1, 21 KOs) seized the opportunity and made boxing history to win the WBA/IBF/WBO/IBO championships.

Ruiz, the first heavyweight of Mexican descent to win a heavyweight title, raised his arms in celebration and jumped around the ring as his corner quickly mobbed him and a wild celebration kicked off.

When ring announcer Michael Buffer announced the name of the judges "should this fight go the distance," fans laughed at the ridiculous possibility as Ruiz was nearly a 30-1 underdog.

Joshua and Ruiz were both knocked down in an electrifying third round that had the sellout crowd of 20,201 howling with each heavy hit. Joshua knocked down Ruiz early in the round and the promise of an early finish seemed horizon.

Ruiz, his trunks a bit too low for his portly frame, came right back and used an overhand right that stunned the champ and sent him to the canvas. Joshua recovered only to get pummeled in the corner and loose his legs. Ruiz knocked him down again in the final ticks of the round as fans in a stunned Garden crowd screamed "Oh my God!" Again, Joshua beat the count but the bell saved the Brit from a going a second longer in his weakened state. Had it not been a championship fight, perhaps Griffin would have stopped the bout.

Alas, for Joshua, it went on.

Ruiz, whose father, a native of Mexico, got him into the gym when he was 6 and had his son in bouts a year later, stunned the boxing world. Johsua was the fan favorite and had all the hype for his first fight in the United States.

NBA star Kyrie Irving and rapper Meek Mill were among the celebrities in the house expecting Joshua to roll to a win and set up more ambitious, lucrative bouts against the likes of Tyson Fury, Deontay Wilder and a few other potential opponents.

Wilder, owner of the WBC crown, decided to give Luis Ortiz a rematch. Ortiz battered Wilder for parts of their fight in early 2018 before running out of gas and getting knocked out.

Wilder tried to steal the headlines this week when he announced his rematch with Fury was set for 2020. Wilder and Fury fought to a split draw in December in Los Angeles, with Wilder retaining his WBC heavyweight title after knocking down his British challenger twice.

Joshua instead heads toward a likely rematch against Ruiz later this year. </s> Andy Ruiz Jr knocks down Anthony Joshua in the first round of their heavyweight title fight

Anthony Joshua has been beaten by unfancied Mexican fighter Andy Ruiz Jr in one of the biggest shocks in heavyweight boxing history.

The Briton, 29, lost all three of his IBF, WBA and WBO heavyweight titles after being stopped in the seventh round in front of a disbelieving 20,000-strong crowd at Madison Square Garden in New York.

He had spent much of rounds four to six recovering from what was possibly the most damaging round of his career in the third, during which he was knocked down twice.

Ruiz was only drafted in to fight Joshua after the Briton's original opponent, Jarrell Miller, failed a drugs test.

"This is what I have been dreaming about and I cannot believe I made my dreams come true," said Ruiz, who Joshua managed to knock down once in the third round.

"That was my first time getting dropped on the floor but it made me want it even more - and I just thank God. I have got that Mexican blood in me and that just proved it. Right now, I just want to celebrate. I made history for Mexico."

Joshua was not in the mood to offer excuses for his performance and paid tribute to his opponent.

He told Sky Sports Box Office: "Boxing is a tough sport, but I train hard and I got beaten by a good fighter, it will be interesting to see how far he goes, but this is all part of the journey.

"This is the risk we take, every fighter deserves respect so congratulations to him. I respect every fighter, this is all part of the legacy, it's how strong I came back. He's a champion for now, I shall return."

Joshua had beaten 22 opponents without defeat before his Saturday night fight against Ruiz, and apologised to his fans who had bought tickets for the match.

"Sorry I let my fans down," he said.

Promoter Eddie Hearn said a rematch between the pair would likely be arranged for later in the year.

He said: "He will come back. It's now down to the rematch and winning that fight. He must win that fight and he will do anything he can to regain his title. To get back to the heights he has been, he must win that rematch."

Two of the other top heavyweights in the world, Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder, reacted to Joshua's defeat on Twitter.

Fury tweeted: "We have our back and forths but @anthonyfjoshua changed his stars through life. heavyweight boxing, these things happen, rest up, recover, regroup and come again."

However, Wilder was critical of Joshua, saying that "he wasn't a true champion". </s> NEW YORK — Andy Ruiz Jr. had six weeks to prepare for the fight of his life.

He’ll have a lifetime to celebrate one of boxing’s biggest heavyweight stunners.

A massive underdog just like Buster Douglas, Ruiz knocked down British champion Anthony Joshua four times, and the final two in the seventh round proved the decisive blows.

Ruiz, the first heavyweight of Mexican descent to win a heavyweight title, capped one of boxing’s epic upsets to win Joshua’s shares of the heavyweight championship Saturday night at Madison Square Garden.

“I just feel so good, man,” Ruiz said. “This is what I’ve been dreaming about, this is what I’ve been working hard for. I can’t believe I just made my dreams come true.”

Ruiz etched his name in heavyweight lore by TKO at 1:27 in the seventh round to become the surprise champ in a bout that had shades of Douglas’ upset over Mike Tyson for the heavyweight title in 1990. Ruiz barely was on anyone’s heavyweight radar when he was summoned as a replacement to fight the undefeated Joshua in front of a packed Garden.

Considered a joke by fans, all Ruiz did was dominate the British champion and used a TKO to turn his life and the heavyweight division upside down. Ruiz racked up 32 wins without beating many boxers of note and walked into the ring with a waistline that will need a supersized championship belt.

Ruiz, a flabby fighter out of Southern California, came up short in his only other shot at a world title, having lost on points to then-WBO champion Joseph Parker in December 2016.

Ruiz even warned Joshua before the fight: “Don’t underestimate this little fat boy.”

The 270-pound heavyset heavyweight knocked down Joshua twice in the third round and did it two more times in the seventh before referee Mike Griffin ended the fight. Joshua was woozy and seemed to stumble toward the wrong corner after the final blow.

Ruiz stepped in after fighting on April 20, when he stopped Alexander Dimitrenko. Jarrell Miller’s failed drug tests sent the challenger to the sideline and paved the way for Ruiz’s unexpected title shot. Ruiz (33-1, 21 KO’s) seized the opportunity and made boxing history to win the WBA/IBF/WBO/IBO championships. He raised his arms in celebration and jumped around the ring as his corner quickly mobbed him and a wild celebration kicked off.

“I’ve got that Mexican blood in me,” he said. “Talking about the Mexican style? I just proved it.”

The true shock might have been that the Garden was packed on a Saturday night for a fight few expected to be competitive. Yes, Ruiz is up there with Douglas and Hasim Rahman for who-can-believe-it wins, but casual sports fans don’t even know the names of most boxing champions — consider, instead of pay-per-view parties, this card was streamed by DAZN.

When ring announcer Michael Buffer announced the name of the judges “should this fight go the distance,” fans laughed at the ridiculous possibility as Ruiz was an ultimate underdog.

Joshua (22-1, 22 KO’s) and Ruiz were both knocked down in an electrifying third round that had the sellout crowd of 20,201 howling with each heavy hit. Joshua knocked down Ruiz early in the round and the promise of an early finish seemed horizon.

Ruiz, his trunks a bit too low for his portly frame, came right back and used an overhand right that rocked the champ and sent him to the canvas. Joshua recovered only to get pummeled in the corner.

Had it not been a championship fight, perhaps Griffin would have stopped the bout.

Alas, for Joshua, it went on.

Ruiz, whose father, a native of Mexico, got him into the gym when he was 6 and had his son in bouts a year later, shook up the boxing world. Johsua was the fan favorite and had all the hype for his first fight in the United States.

“If it wasn’t for my dad, I wouldn’t be here,” Ruiz said.

NBA star Kyrie Irving and rapper Meek Mill were among the celebrities in the house expecting Joshua to roll to a win and set up more ambitious, lucrative bouts against the likes of Tyson Fury, Deontay Wilder and a few other potential opponents.

“Sorry I let my fans down, sorry I let my supporters down,” Joshua said.

Ruiz made some new ones.

“It is never over until it’s over with the Mexicans. God bless them. Congrats Andy Ruiz,” former UFC champion Conor McGregor tweeted.

Wilder, owner of the WBC crown, decided to give Luis Ortiz a rematch. Ortiz battered Wilder for parts of their fight in early 2018 before running out of gas and getting knocked out.

Wilder tried to steal the headlines this week when he announced his rematch with Fury was set for 2020. Wilder and Fury fought to a split draw in December in Los Angeles, with Wilder retaining his WBC heavyweight title after knocking down his British challenger twice.

Joshua instead heads toward a likely rematch against Ruiz later this year.

Fans booed when Ruiz was shown on the big screen holding a personalized Knicks jersey. He walked out to his press conference wearing the jersey — his coronation complete, a table full of championship belts all for him.

“My life is going to change,” he said. “I don’t have to show them no more.” </s> In the seventh round of Saturday night’s heavyweight title fight, one of boxing’s biggest stars fell to one knee and then staggered to the corner. Referee Michael Griffin walked over to Anthony Joshua, watched him as he made an attempt to recover and then called the fight with 1:26 remaining in the round.

With that, Andy Ruiz Jr. shocked the sport.

Ruiz’s knockout of the heavyweight champion Joshua (22-1, 21 KOs), making his U.S. debut in Madison Square Garden, was predicted by few. Ruiz (33-1, 22 KOs), a 14-1 underdog coming into the night according to the FanDuel sportsbook, scored four knockdowns of the British star, including his TKO victory in the seventh.

Joshua lost his International Boxing Federation (IBF), International Boxing Organization (IBO), World Boxing Association (WBA) and World Boxing Organization (WBO) titles with the upset.

Ruiz, a native of Southern California, is the first fighter of Mexican descent to win a heavyweight title. He was chosen as a late replacement for Jarell Miller in this fight after Miller failed a drug test. The 270-pound Ruiz had little time to prepare, having just fought Alexander Dimitrenko on April 20.

In what was widely expected to be an easy test for Joshua, the sellout crowd of 20,201 at the Garden ended up with an action-packed battle. Both fighters were knocked down in a dramatic third round, with Ruiz going first and then Joshua falling on an overhand right. Ruiz knocked the defending champ down again just before the round ended.

Ruiz knocked down Joshua again in the seventh before his fourth and final fall.

Boxing fans had plenty to say online after the shocking upset. Deontay Wilder, who many believed would one day match up with Joshua, wasted no time in coming after the heavyweight.

Some fans pointed to the “Drake Curse” as being responsible for the outcome. The rapper has become something of a bad luck charm for athletes, as more than a few surprising results have been preceded by a picture with the Canadian star. It happened to Conor McGregor, Serena Williams and Manchester City.

And now, despite an Instagram post from March claiming that he was going to buck the trend, Joshua seems to have been hit by the Drake Curse as well.

Elsewhere online, some of boxing’s biggest names marveled at the upset. </s> Andy Ruiz Jr.'s shocking, seventh-round TKO of Anthony Joshua to become the new unified world heavyweight champion on Saturday night instantly went down as one of boxing's biggest upsets.

It also made Sporting News recall some of the other massive upsets in boxing history.

Below are the 15 biggest upsets in boxing history, including Ruiz's stunner, listed in reverse chronological order.

The bout was supposed to bring fight fans one step closer to seeing Joshua battle Deontay Wilder for the undisputed heavyweight crown. Instead, it crowned a new unified world heavyweight champ.

Ruiz knocked Joshua down four times en route to a seventh-round TKO that not only ruined the British boxer's U.S. debut, but flipped the state of the heavyweight division upside down.

At this time, Jones was regarded as the pound-for-pound best fighter on the planet with a record of 46-1 and his only loss coming on a questionable disqualification to Montell Griffin in March 1997. (Jones won the rematch almost five months later.) Jones was coming off becoming the first middleweight champion to win a heavyweight title when he defeated John Ruiz to win the WBA title in March 2003.

In his next time out in November 2003, Jones went back down to light heavyweight and won the WBC belt from Tarver by majority decision. Tarver felt he got robbed and demanded they fight again. The rematch took place six months later.

Tarver left no doubt who won this time around, as he connected on a flush counter left hook to end Jones' amazing run.

Klitschko was regaining his strength, getting two wins under his belt following his shocking loss to Corrie Sanders more than a year prior when he stepped into the ring with Brewster. Klitschko was the favorite entering the fight and looked to be on his way to victory, dropping the American in the fourth round.

But Brewster began sitting on his punches in the fifth and wobbled Klitschko up against the ropes, prompting the ref to register a standing-eight count to the Ukrainian. Klitschko's legs were completely gone, and the ref stopped the fight seconds later, allowing Brewster to claim the then-vacant WBA heavyweight title.

Klitschko wouldn't taste defeat for another 11 years, further proving how big Brewster's upset was.

Klitschko was 40-1 and looking to make his sixth defense of his WBO heavyweight title. Meanwhile, Sanders was a solid 39-2 but had only fought twice in the past two years entering the fight. That, and the fashion that Sanders disposed of Klitschko, made the upset all the more mind-boggling.

Sanders knocked Klitschko down four times en route to the jaw-dropping, second-round TKO.

Rahman chased Lewis across the ring with four jabs before he unleashed a thunderous overhand right that dropped the unified heavyweight champion of the world flat on his back with a thud, unable to beat the count.

Just like that, a new champ was crowned in South Africa via a stirring fifth-round KO.

Holyfield and Tyson were supposed to face each other in 1991, but Tyson had to pull out due to injury and then went to prison in 1992. Five years later, they met for Tyson's WBA and WBC heavyweight titles.

Holyfield was a 25-1 underdog after losing by knockout for the first time in his career in the trilogy fight against Riddick Bowe and a lackluster win over Bobby Czyz. But Holyfield defied the odds and bullied the "bully" throughout to stop Tyson in the 11th round and become a three-time heavyweight champion.

Moorer was coming off winning the IBF and WBA heavyweight titles from Holyfield. He wanted a big name for his first title defense. Look no further than the 45-year-old Foreman.

For nine rounds, Moorer was running laps around Foreman. But in the heavyweight division, all a fighter needs to do is land one punch, and Foreman did just that in the 10th round when he landed a short right hand straight to the jaw to drop Moorer.

Referee Joe Cortez waved the fight off, and Foreman became the oldest heavyweight champion in boxing history.

Chavez had come into the tilt on a 90-fight unbeaten streak (89-0-1). Randall was no slouch, as he was 49-2-1. But Chavez was expected to run through Randall and continue his record streak.

Randall had other plans. He dropped Chavez in the 11th round, and Chavez got two points deducted for low blows that allowed Randall to pull off the upset.

Morrison was the reigning WBO heavyweight champion, a title he claimed after beating Foreman in June of 1993, and was riding a 10-fight winning streak when he faced Bentt, a heavyweight who was relatively unknown at the time. But the underdog Bentt shocked Morrison and dropped him three times in the first round before a nationally televised audience on HBO for the improbable first-round TKO.

The stunning upset derailed Morrison's immediate plans for a fight with Lennox Lewis, although the scrap would happen about two years later.

Douglas was a staggering 42-to-1 underdog against Tyson back in February 1990 at the Tokyo Dome in Japan for their heavyweight title fight. But having lost his mother 23 days before the fight lit a raging fire inside Douglas, who took it to Tyson en route to pulling off a shocking 10th-round KO of "The Baddest Man on The Planet" and becoming the new undisputed heavyweight champion of the world.

What started as a foregone conclusion that Douglas would lose wound up being the biggest upset in the history of boxing and, perhaps, all of sports.

Foreman came into "The Rumble in the Jungle" 37-0 and had just ran through Joe Frazier and Ken Norton in two rounds. Ali's own battles with Frazier and Norton had taken their toll, and Ali at this point was starting to lose his patented speed and reflexes.

Instead of trying to outgun Foreman, Ali used the "rope-a-dope" strategy that ended up tiring his opponent. Ali took advantage of a weakened Foreman to knock him out in the eighth round and put an end to the vaunted winning streak.

Liston had tasted defeat only once before in his career and had built himself up to being one of the most feared heavyweight champions in boxing history when he faced a 7-to-1 underdog in a brash, 22-year-old Clay.

While Liston went for the knockout early, Clay avoided the early damage and blinded Liston with speed, pummeling the champ to the point that he couldn't continue following the sixth round. He then dismissed any notion that the upset was a fluke by scoring a first-round KO of Liston in their rematch in May of 1965.

Robinson was a ridiculous 128-1-2 when Turpin handed him his second pro loss and took his middleweight title in a grand upset.

Robinson exacting revenge with a 10th-round TKO a couple months later didn't negate the magnitude of what Turpin was able to do in their first meeting.

Louis defeating Schmeling was considered to be all but a formality back in 1936. So imagine the shock when the underdog controlled the fight at Yankee Stadium before emphatically ending it with a 12th-round KO.

The 2005 biopic "Cinderella Man" told the life story of Braddock, who had a staggering 25 losses on his record when he went up against Baer as a 10-to-1 underdog in June of 1935 in New York.

Not only did Braddock prove critics wrong, but he smothered Baer en route to a unanimous decision after 15 rounds, cementing one of the biggest upsets in boxing history.
Andy Ruiz Jr. defeats Anthony Joshua by knockout in the seventh round to become IBF, WBA and WBO heavyweight champion of the world in what has been described as one of the biggest upsets in heavyweight boxing history.
