2012 Olympic Gold Medalist and former IBF, WBO, and IBO heavyweight boxing champion Anthony Joshua (22-1) was knocked out in the seventh round at Madison Square Garden Saturday night by massive betting odds underdog Andy Ruiz Jr. (33-1). Ruiz handed Joshua his first professional loss and shocked the boxing world with the upset.
Sky Sports cameras showed Joshua's father Richard making his way towards promoter Eddie Hearn in the ring after the fight as Ruiz Jr was being interviewed.
It remains unclear why he was so frustrated with Hearn but Joshua told him: "No, it's me...I am the one fighting."
He later managed to calm his father down but admitted he had been impacted by the shock defeat.
A rematch is now likely to take place in October or November later this year, where Joshua will get the chance to win his belts back.
