Anthony Joshua defeated Andy Ruiz to win back his world heavyweight titles.
During an interview with Sky Sport after the match, Anthony said: “First of all, I want to thank God. I want to say, man, the first time was so nice that I had to do it twice.
“A man like me doesn’t make any excuses. This is about boxing – I’m used to knocking guys out.
“I realised last time, I hurt him. But I got caught. I respect Andy and his family, his trainer so much. I wanted to put on a boxing masterclass.
“It’s about hitting and not getting hit. It’s not a chance of mentality – stay hungry, stay humble. Thank you Andy, thank you everyone in Saudi Arabia and all the travelling fans.
“It’s all about preparations. Careers are all about experience, I took my L and moved on. What did you want me to do? Give up?”
