The win saw Joshua reclaim the IBF, WBA and WBO titles, now making him a two-time world heavyweight champion.
Reacting to the win Abubakar expressed delight that Joshua has finally reclaimed the world titles.
“Great to see @anthonyfjoshua reclaim the championship. A good fight,” Abubakar wrote on his Twitter handle.
Oliseh wrote:”So relieved and pleased to see our Nigerian pride Anthony Joshua regain his title as World Heavyweight champion, defeating Ruiz. Loved his gratitude to God first, after the victory. Boy was I stressed.”
And according to Odenwingie: “Different skillset from AJ. Live and learn. Reacted sensibly (lost some weight and no complacency) Congrats @anthonyfjoshua . Don’t judge a book by its cover @Andy_destroyer1 With God all things are possible. He is a good fighter and very strong mentally.”
