Madison Square Garden just became the sight of one of the biggest upsets in heavyweight boxing history.
Anthony Joshua (22-1, 21 KOs) was a 25-to-1 favorite to beat short notice replacement Andy Ruiz Jr (33-1, 22 KOs) in his United States debut, but the British superstar was stopped in seven rounds by the Mexican-American, who literally just fought on April 20th. There were five knockdowns in this unforgettable, stunning contest, with Joshua on the canvas four times.
It looked like it would be a rough night for Ruiz when he was floored by a left hook in round three.
