Joshua vs Ruiz Jr 2: Ali, Tyson and other heavyweight rematches
The HinduThis Saturday, Andy Ruiz Jr and Anthony Joshua will become the latest men to answer one of heavyweight boxing's most historically captivating questions. Joshua sensationally lost his IBF, WBA and WBO titles at Madison Square Garden, as well as his unbeaten record, to late replacement Ruiz back in June. Joe Louis v Jersey Joe Walcott – Jun 25, 1948 Louis was the longest-reigning heavyweight champion of the world at the time of his first meeting with Walcott, a former sparring partner for 'the Brown Bomber' who had started out at middleweight. 'The Brown Bomber' gave Walcott an immediate rematch – but the judges had no need to get involved second time around. That was not the end of the fighting, though, as things quickly turned ugly between the two different camps, while there were also scuffles among members of the crowd inside Madison Square Garden.
