Andy Ruiz Junior has sent shockwaves around boxing circles following one of the biggest upsets in heavyweight history.
The Mexican-American has dethroned IBF, WBA, IBA and WBO world champion Anthony Joshua in a seventh round TKO in New York.
The Brit hadn't lost in his 22 career fights, and was a whopping 25-1 odds favourite.
To add to the upset, Ruiz only had six weeks notice for the bout, after American Jarrell Miller withdrew after failing three drug tests in April.
