ANDY RUIZ JR did not look like a man who had just spent seven rounds in the ring with Anthony Joshua as he posed with his new world title belts.
The Mexican-American stunned the sport by defeating AJ and with it became the new heavyweight champion.
But as he posed for photographs after the fight, he looked relatively fresh and free from any injuries.
He got the photo he has no doubt been dreaming about for years, holding four belts under the Madison Square Garden sign in a New York Knicks jersey.
And astonishingly it looked as though it could have been taken as part of a pre-fight promotion due to the blemish-free face.
Ruiz, 29, wrote: “All my life, been grindin’ all my life. Sacrificed, hustled, paid the price. Want a slice, got to roll the dice. That’s why, all my life, I been grindin’ all my life.”
He also uploaded a photo of him flooring Joshua – which he managed on FOUR occasions during the bout on his way to defeating the heavyweight champ in one of the biggest shocks in boxing history.
Ruiz also tweeted to ask promoter Eddie Hearn who will challenge him and try and wrestle the belts off him.
A rematch with AJ is expected for later this year but the new champ said: “@EddieHearn who is next??”
He also changed his Twitter header picture to a Snickers chocolate bar, possibly hitting back at those that wrote him off for being fat.
Meanwhile, Joshua praised Ruiz for his performance, giving credit to his opponent for the win.
He then uploaded another picture to his Instagram with 24 members of his team posing in the dressing room – many of whom were bizarrely smiling after the shock defeat.
And Joshua strangely wrote: “The vision remains the same,” despite suffering his first professional loss.
He added: “Thank you to everyone who travelled, MSG was lively!”
