Anthony Joshua vs. Andy Ruiz Jr. Live Results - Heavyweight Title

Tonight (Sat. June 1, 2019) boxing’s heavyweight king Anthony Joshua (22-0, 21 KOs) makes his United States debut.

Joshua puts his IBF, WBA, and WBO heavyweight titles up for grabs against Andy Ruiz Jr. (32-1, 21 KOs). Initially, Joshua was scheduled to face off against Jarrell “Big Baby” Miller (23-0-1, 20 KOs), however, after Miller failed several drug tests, he was removed from the bout. Now, Joshua faces Ruiz Jr., who has only lost once in his boxing career heading into the fight.

That loss came to Joseph Parker (25-2, 19 KOs) via majority decision in 2016. Parker is the only man that Joshua was unable to finish inside the ring, taking the Englishman to the judges’ scorecards for the first and only time in his professional career.
