Anthony Joshua was humiliatingly beaten in New York last summer.
There is no other way to describe it. It was his American debut and those who attended Madison Square Garden, together with people who had tuned into the TV, were expecting to see a bulldozing Brit conquer America.
He was supposed to be to boxing what Roger Federer is to tennis.
But he failed. A late replacement opponent Andy Ruiz Jr., who had his weight ridiculed pre-fight, knocked Joshua down four times. It wasn't a lucky punch. It wasn't a fluke knockout. It was a resounding, one-sided, beatdown.
But Joshua did something extraordinary in the months after. He refocused, called an immediate rematch, and won — easily. That is the mark of a true fighter and a real champion.
World titles: WBA, WBO, and IBF championships.
