Britain's Anthony Joshua celebrates after beating Andy Ruiz Jr. on points to win their World Heavyweight Championship contest at the Diriyah Arena, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia early Sunday Dec. 8, 2019.
Against Ruiz, Joshua overhauled his approach — “I took it back to the old school, ‘70s style,” he said — and used dancing feet instead of his traditional power-punching to break down his opponent. When asked if his fans might have expected more from Joshua in the controversial rematch in the Middle East, where avoiding Ruiz played as big a part in the game plan as punching him, the Briton said: “If I box for the crowd and people’s opinion, I might not have been victorious. I trusted my own process and now I am the champion. I’m going to follow my own instincts while I’m boxing.”
“I realize chasing that fight wasn’t playing to my benefits. So I’m just going to let the path take its course. When the opportunity presents itself to become undisputed heavyweight champion of the world, I’ll definitely step up and take the challenge.”
He also made around 80 million in the fight..not bad
