It was this week exactly a year ago in which we saw arguably saw the biggest upset in boxing since Buster Douglas toppled Mike Tyson in the Tokyo Dome in 1990.
In similar fashion to Douglas, massive underdog Andy Ruiz dropped the reigning world champion Anthony Joshua numerous itmes and ended up stopping him in a shock defeat June 1st 2019 at the Madison Square Garden in New York to become the first Mexican Heavyweight Champion.The success didn't last long as Ruiz ended up turning up to the rematch in Saudi Arabia heavier than he was 6 months prior and was thoroughly outboxed by Joshua.
I sat down with the man who was responsible for masterminding the massive upset, Manny Robles. Stay tuned as Manny shares what it was like scoring the upset a year ago, what went wrong in the rematch in Saudi and why the relationship with Andy Ruiz Jr turned sour.
