Anthony Joshua's Big 5: AJ DOESN'T repeat mistakes!

Anthony Joshua's Big 5: AJ DOESN'T repeat mistakes!

On June 1, 2019, the boxing world sees one of the biggest surprises in the heavyweight division. After 7 successful fights for the world title and victories against giants of the sport such as Wladimir Klitschko, Carlos Takam, Joseph Parker and Alexander Povetkin, Anthony Joshua has a clear favorite in another title fight. Andy Ruiz Jr. is coming up against the Englishman. With only one loss, but too few arguments against the champion. Everyone expects another successful defense of the champion, but in the 7th round, the American of Mexican origin won after a technical knockout.

Past and future have shown that Joshua has a problem against significantly shorter opponents. This was evident in his fights with Takam, Povetkin and later Alexander Usyk. However, on December 7, Joshua must prove to the world that he is not repeating the same mistake. After the defeat in New York, Anthony again goes out as a favorite, but this time in Saudi Arabia. The champion has become a contender, but can he regain the top?

From the very beginning, the British's strategy is visible. He's shed a lot of muscle mass and uses a lot of movement in the ring. Already in the opening round this helps him with a fantastic right straight to the head of Ruiz. The American is injured.

Until the end, Anthony acts methodically. It does not stay in one place for very long and rarely enters into combinations. Scores one each, but at the expense of this a clean shot and gradually accumulates points in his asset. As the fight progresses, Andy is forced to attack. Every single one of his attacks is repulsed solidly enough.

With good strategy and a lot of discipline, Anthony won by unanimous decision. In fact, hardly anyone argues who deserves the victory more. The Englishman is the champion again! He shows everyone that in a few months he is ready to completely change his appearance and strategy. He adapts to the opponent and does not allow him a second consecutive shocking victory.
