Anthony Joshua vs. Andy Ruiz Jr The Rematch

Saudi Arabia holds the rematch, as Anthony Joshua attempts to regain his belts!

The first meeting of Anthony Joshua and Andy Ruiz Jr happened at Madison Square Garden in New York City, New York, U.S on June 1, 2019.

Other "better" fighters such as Detony Wilder, Tyson Fury and Jarrell Miller who was disqualified due to failing 3 drug tests all passed up the chance to grab AJ's collection of Heavyweight belts.

He held a unified list of heavyweight belts, the WBA, WBO, IBF and IBO. Why wouldn't a fighter like Detony Wilder who only holds a seemingly lesser ranked WBC belt want the chance to take them all of AJ?

I have no idea and there are lots of conspiracy talks in the boxing forums on social media but AJ did not expect to lose to Andy Ruiz by TKO in the seventh round, ending Anthony Joshua's undefeated record and becoming the new unified heavyweight champion.

Andy Ruiz knocks down Anthony Joshua for the fourth time

That win over AJ is considered to be one of the biggest upsets in boxing history.

People have even compared it to fights such as Mike Tyson v Buster Douglas in 1990 and Lennox Lewis v Hasim Rahman in 2001.

The only other belt out there that really matters is the WBC held by the super puncher, Detony Wilder, who drew with Tyson Fury after knocking him down twice, and a recent win over Luis Ortiz, 10 years his elder, and although looking unfit seemed to be inside Wilders head with his two step jab technique. Until blam, Wilder got a clean straight right hand bomb on Luis that ended the fight straight away.

Why are there all these belts I think this video might help but personally I think there should only be one belt, one heavyweight champion of the world and not 5+ belts out there with the possibility of 5+ people calling themselves heavyweight champions.


Now what will happen in the rematch which for the 1st time is being held earlier in the day with the big fight around 9pm and shown on Sky Box Office, with probably a pass on BT to watch as well. Although there are tons of online streaming services and apps that will allow you to watch the fight for free if you can find them.

If AJ is capable of handling bombs on his chin better than before then he stands a good chance but if during his loss Ruiz floored AJ 4 times and I can see no reason why he can't be capable of doing it again tomorrow night.

What do you think?

Does AJ stand a chance of getting his 4 belts back?

Or will Andy Ruiz land him on the canvas multiple times again. 

Here is a build up video for the rematch.


Let me know in the comments who you think will win?

  1. I think Andy Ruiz will win again, he knocked AJ to the floor 4 times so AJ's chin is obviously not up to it. If he can get to that chin again he has a chance of keeping the unified belt collection of letters.

  2. AJ will get his belts back tonight in Saudi Arabia. He had a bad night against a bad fighter in Madison Square Gardens and he will have been in camp working on all the mistakes he made last time.

  3. What a ahit fight. If i had known Ruiz had trained out at McDonalds I wouldnt have warched it. AJ jus spent all night xircling him and jabbing and there were no eventful punch fests. Ppl who paid £25 I feel aorry for glad I used potato streams to watch it for free.
