Can Andy Ruiz Jr. prove that he is not the next James "Buster,quot; Douglas?
Ruiz (33-1, 22 KOs) has the opportunity to show the boxing world that his monumental discomfort was no accident in a rematch against Anthony Joshua for the heavyweight belts FIB, AMB (super) and OMB that Ruiz claimed in Your first fight. The sequel is scheduled for Saturday, December 7 from Diriyah Arena in Diriyah, Saudi Arabia, live and exclusively in DAZN.
Ruiz entered his first fight on June 1 as a 9-1 loser. Except for those closest to him, nobody prayed to Ruiz against Joshua, who had been considered the best heavyweight in the world. Then everything changed for the 30-year-old career challenger.
Joshua (22-1, 21 KOs) seemed to have things well controlled in the third round when he sent Ruiz to the canvas with a left hook. Instead of wilting like those before him, Ruiz smiled, dusted himself off and let Joshua fall with his left hand. Near the end of the round, Ruiz sent Joshua to the canvas once with a straight right hand.

Then, in the fateful seventh round, Ruiz made the final blows and made history, knocking Joshua down two more times. After the final fall, referee Michael Griffin asked Joshua if he could continue. Joshua said he could but could not convince Griffin that he was serious and rejected the fight, and Ruiz became the first heavyweight champion of Mexican descent.
When the dust settled, Joshua did not waste much time to invoke the rematch clause in the contract. It was just a matter of securing a place for the biggest fight of 2019. Suitors from around the world sought to host Cardiff, Wales in Joshua's native England as the favorite. But in the last second, the kingdom of Saudi Arabia plummeted and secured the fight.
