(Reuters) - Andy Ruiz Jr. dethroned British title-holder Anthony Joshua with a stunning seventh-round stoppage at New York's Madison Square Garden on Saturday to become the first Mexican-American world heavyweight champion. Joshua said he could have fought on but had no harsh words for the referee. The defeat was a setback but Joshua said he would be back. And I just got beat by a good fighter tonight," he said. Ruiz was dropped to the canvas in the third but the heavy brawler came back to down the Brit in the same round and Joshua was lucky to survive.
