December 7, a rematch took place between Saudi Arabia between Mexican Andy Ruiz and Briton Anthony Joshua.

Boxers walked the full distance in 12 rounds. Joshua won by unanimous decision: 118-110, 118-110, 119-109.

The Briton became the world champion in the WBA, WBO, IBF and IBO heavyweight versions.

Already in the first round, Anthony hit the opponent’s head with a strong blow, after which Ruiz had a cut over his eye. For most of the fight, Joshua moved around the ring and kept Ruiz at a distance, and Andy tried unsuccessfully to catch the Briton..

Towards the end of the battle, Ruiz, who gained 7 kilograms in comparison with the first fight, was not able to hit his opponent.

Thus, Joshua regained the titles that he lost in June of this year, sensationally losing to Ruiz by knockout in the first match..
