Anthony Oluwafemi Olaseni Joshua, OBE, the British professional boxer has taken back the WBO, IBF, IBO, and WBA heavyweight titles.
Six months after a stunning knockout loss, Anthony Joshua used his size and feet to regain control of the heavyweight division and put both his career and status as a global boxing superstar back on track. Joshua (23-1, 21 KOs), who came in 11 pounds lighter than his upset loss in June, outboxed Andy Ruiz Jr. in Saturday's rematch and avoided trouble to regain his WBA, WBO and IBF titles via wide unanimous decision.
All three judges in Diriyah, Saudi Arabia, by scores of 118-110 (twice) and 119-109. CBS Sports also scored the fight 118-110 for Joshua, the 2012 Olympic gold medalist from Great Britain who put his seventh-round TKO loss during his U.S. debut in the rearview mirror.
He is the unified world heavyweight champion holding the WBA, IBF, WBO and IBO titles between 2016 and June 2019, and since December 2019.
