Media playback is not supported on this device Watch: Mike Costello's commentary of the moment Anthony Joshua reclaims world titlesAnthony Joshua became a two-time world heavyweight champion with a unanimous points victory over Andy Ruiz Jr in a tense rematch in Saudi Arabia. Six months on from the night Ruiz stunned boxing, Joshua risked seeing his career left in tatters with a second defeat, but served up 36 minutes of movement and well-timed punching to take the IBF, WBA and WBO titles back to Britain. The question in Saudi Arabia was whether Joshua could show the same mental fortitude after being knocked down four times by Ruiz in June. Deep in the 12th, Ruiz beat his chest as if to dare Joshua close. Anthony Joshua won his world titles back at the first attemptBrave Ruiz pays for distractionSome seeing Ruiz's showing here will ask what was wrong with Joshua in their first meeting - the Mexican was never able to rediscover the heights he hit in New York.
