Anthony Joshua has reclaimed his heavyweight belts from Mexican-American Andy Ruiz Jr in what some spectators saw Joshua as a tactical 'Kangaroo'...
Anthony Joshua won back the WBO, WBA, IBF and IBO Heavyweight titles in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
The bout was watched by millions of fans around the world.
Andy Ruiz admitted defeat and wants another fight with Joshua.
"I want to do it again. I came in a bit heavy and if we do the third fight I'm going to come in the fact shape.
"I got boxed. But I want to do it again. Thank you to everyone in Saudi Arabia. Who wants to see the third trilogy fight?
The judges scorecard reads 118-110, 118-110, 119-109.
The fight was good, both fighters gave it all but Ruiz did not up his game while Joshua played to rack up points.
Joshua was in better form than the last fight but he also never went for a fight or rather he just wanted to win tactically.
He has to remain focused if he is to hang on to his belts. He won't get easy wins anymore.
Great fight for fans and the organisers. It lived up to its hipe in its own way.
