Video: Anthony Joshua called loss to Andy Ruiz Jr. ‘learning situation’

Anthony Joshua says his loss to Andy Ruiz Jr. was a learning experience that has helped him grow as a fighter.

Anthony Joshua has called his stunning knockout loss to Andy Ruiz Jr. a “learning situation.”

Ruiz shocked the boxing world by putting Joshua down four times and stopping him in seven rounds in June to take the Englishman’s three heavyweight titles. They meet again Saturday in Diriyah, Saudi Arabia on DAZN.

Joshua said in a video distributed by DAZN that he’s a better fighter as a result of his first defeat.

“As long as I’m breathing, I’ve still got a second chance,” he said.

Joshua discussed his mindset with Chris Mannix of DAZN.
