<\/p>\n

British boxer, Anthony Joshua, has claimed he lost to Andy Ruiz Jr in June, because of a \u201clucky punch\u201d.<\/p>\n

Ruiz handed Joshua the first defeat of his professional career at Madison Square Garden in New York City.<\/p>\n

The Mexican dropped Joshua four times before the contest was stopped in the seventh round.<\/p>\n

The rematch is taking place on December 7th, and for the moment the location has been set down for Saudi Arabia.<\/p>\n

During his interview on AJ, The Untold Truth, Joshua explained how he lost to Ruiz.<\/p>\n

\u201cBy a lucky punch. By a punch sent by the gods.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t know what concussion is, but for sure, after the fight I didn\u2019t know what round (the fight was stopped). So I\u2019m just shocked it took Ruiz Jr another four rounds to get me out. Let me concuss Ruiz Jr \u2013 he won\u2019t get back up.<\/p>\n

\u201cRuiz Jr got hit by a flash knock-down \u2013 he was still raw, he wasn\u2019t well-done, he wasn\u2019t cooked yet. I should have left him a little bit longer. But the instinct in me was: \u2018Boom!\u2019 I ended up getting caught with a left hook on the top of the head. He ain\u2019t that skilful. He\u2019s a good fighter,\u201d he said.<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
