UPCOMING EVENTS IN JANUARY INCLUDE:
4th: Football – FA Cup third round weekend
SPORTS ROUNDUP Anthony Joshua joined a small cluster of men to have reclaimed the world heavyweight title including Muhammad Ali, Lennox Lewis, Evander Holyfield, Mike Tyson and Floyd Patterson on 7th December. Joshua became a two-time world heavyweight champion with a unanimous points victory over Andy Ruiz Jr in a tense rematch in Saudi Arabia.
Six months on from the night Ruiz stunned boxing, Joshua risked seeing his career left in pieces with a second defeat, but he delivered 36 minutes of movement and well-timed punching to take the IBF, WBA and WBO titles back to the UK. After cutting his Mexican rival inside the first round he never looked back and picked out smart
jabs and right hands throughout before being serenaded with chants of “AJ, AJ, AJ” by 14,000 or so fans. Ruiz never looked close to landing a knockdown and when scores of 118-110 118-110 and 119-109 were read out, Joshua jumped up and down in the ring in celebration, just as the man who had wrecked his US debut did in June.
