Coming into the fight, Joshua was 22–0 (21 KOs), while Ruiz Jr. held a record of 32–1 (21 KOs). Joshua started strongly and scored a knockdown in the third round, appearing to be in control early. However, Ruiz responded immediately with fast combinations that stunned Joshua and shifted the momentum dramatically.
