Andy Ruiz Jr has vowed he will be a champion again after losing his world heavyweight titles to Anthony Joshua last week in Diriyah, Saudi Arabia

The Mexican- American was beaten by the British fighter on a unanimous points decision after a cagey rematch between the pair.

With other challenges ahead for Joshua, it remains to be seen where Ruiz will go next but he has promised to return to the top of the heavyweight division sooner rather than later.
