      Andy Ruiz Jr absorbed the exact same brutal punch from Anthony Joshua that KO’d Francis Ngannou

      by

      BOXING fans claimed Andy Ruiz Jr absorbed the exact same brutal punch from Anthony Joshua that knocked out Francis Ngannou. Joshua finished Ngannou after three knockdowns and one final ruthless right hand. Francis Ngannou was knocked out by an Anthony Joshua right handCredit: GettyThe same right hand was absorbed by Andy Ruiz JrCredit: Sky Sports via X formerly TwitterBut users on social media pointed out that it was similar to the same shot that AJ landed on Ruiz after flooring him in their 2019 bout. Ruiz took the shot and moments later dropped Joshua himself before setting up a famous upset victory. And fans were quick to point out the similarities in the two incidents.One said: “Same punch that killed Francis Ngannou for a couple mins Andy Ruiz ate like it was a hamburger & caught Joshua w/ his own shot. Boxers have better chins too. Boxing rules the UFC.”READ MORE IN BOXINGAnother added: “Ruiz got an iron chin.”At the time of Joshua’s KO blow to Ngannou, the ex-UFC champion had already been down twice before.
