Andy Ruiz had EVERYTHING. š„
Lightning-fast hands.
A granite chin.
Brilliant combinations.
And at 29 years old, he shocked Anthony Joshua and became unified heavyweight champion of the world.
Thenā¦ it all seemed to disappear.

ANDY RUIZ BEATEN. š„
Damian Knyba has just scored the biggest win of his career ā and for me, Ruiz looked like a fighter reaching the end of the road.
The speed wasn't there. The activity wasn't there. And Knyba's size gave him nightmares.
I've just posted my immediate reaction.
Is it time for Andy Ruiz to retire?

Moses Itauma has been here beforeā¦
Well, not him ā but heavyweight boxing has.
Wladimir Klitschko was unbeaten when he punched himself out against Ross Puritty.
Derrick Jefferson was unbeaten when something remarkably similar happened against David Izon.
One went on to dominate the heavyweight division. The other never quite fulfilled his potential.
Itauma is only 21.
Which road does he take? š„
