OH, MY! What is happening here at Madison Square Garden? After showing his class and sending Andy Ruiz Jr. to the canvas, unified world heavyweight champ Anthony Joshua was just humbled in profound fashion. After taking a big lick and falling down backwards, the British bruiser was felled a second time at the end of the third round, finding himself saved by the bell.

Are you kidding me? We're talking about an undefeated world champ faltering in his first-ever fight outside his native Britain.
