The champion said he eats a bar before each bout Ruiz Jr knocks down Anthony Joshua in the third round during their fight on Saturday night Appearing on 'Inside the PBC' armed with one of his trusty Snickers bars Ruiz also announced his intention to gorge on the confection prior to the bout. Ruiz took up boxing aged just six years old after his father banned him from playing baseball Ruiz and his team celebrate his coronation as IBF, IBO and WBO world heavyweight champion Ruiz's wife speaking to the media after his win on Saturday night against Anthony Joshua The new champion, and the first of Mexican descent, had been dismissed again as recently as Friday's weigh-in, where his fleshy appearance and the fact he outweighed Joshua by over 20 pounds encouraged the perception that he had little chance of success. Ruiz Jr. claimed to be confident heading into Saturday's fight against undefeated Joshua, but even he couldn't hide his utter astonishment after dropping the unified champion four times and earning a technical-knockout win. Joshua's promoter Eddie Hearn, who Ruiz Jr had repeatedly contacted in an attempt to force Saturday's fight at New York's Madison Square Garden, is planning an immediate rematch in the UK this winter.
