In a stunning upset in June 2019, Ruiz clinched victory from Joshua, securing the heavyweight titles in New York.

However, Joshua regained his titles in a rematch staged in Saudi Arabia six months later, ending their immediate rivalry with each boxer having one win.

Despite the results from their past fights, Ruiz is still keen on a definitive trilogy match.
