Tonight marked Anthony Joshua and Andy Ruiz Jr.’s rematch fight in Saudi Arabia.

The highly anticipated fight has been watched closely worldwide and UK fans can rejoice as Anthony Joshua is once again a champion, winning the fight with a unanimous decision and scores of 118-110, 118-110 and 119-109.

Anthony Joshua is once again the Heavyweight champion. 

The fight went on for 12 rounds and Joshua was controlled, persistent and athletic throughout.

Commentators praised the difference in Joshua’s form and remarked that the weight he has gained improved his strength.

Steve Bunce of BBC Radio 5 said, “AJ was absolutely clinical and he never wasted a shot. That was class and he stuck to his plan. Beautiful to watch. He got it right in spectacular fashion. He is now looking out to the crowd and that is the look he has had all week. He has been steely and nasty.”

Joshua appeared calm and collected before the match; walking into the ring to the sounds of Nigerian instrumentalist Fela Kuti.

Congratulations to Anthony Joshua on his major win!
