Watch stunned reaction of Sky Sports commentators as Anthony Joshua is dethroned by Andy Ruiz and knocked down FOUR times on way to losing all his world titles
SKY SPORTS commentators were captured in complete shock during the third round of Anthony Joshua’s shock loss to Andy Ruiz Jr.
Chubby 25/1 challenger Ruiz ruined AJ’s US debut as registered a huge sporting upset with a seventh round stoppage of Joshua.
Joshua had decked Ruiz with a massive left-hook in round three, but as he looked to pile on the pressure Ruiz flipped the script and had AJ hurt.
A left-hook by Ruiz had the champion in trouble before the challenger slashed the Watford ace with swiping shots until the 6ft 6in champ was floored.
Things worsened for Joshua as he was again dropped on the bell, though he beat the count and returned to his corner.
Ruiz would not let up as he went after the champion and hurt Joshua with his quick hands in close.
Footage captures the moment AJ was again in trouble in the third as the mammoth upset looked on the cards.
At the end of the fifth Joshua even asked trainer Robert McCracken what round it was before questioning why he was so gassed out in the next stanza.
