Anthony Joshua produced one of the best performances of his career to defeat Andy Ruiz Jr in Saudi Arabia on Saturday night.<\/p>\n
The 30-year-old is the heavyweight champion of the world once more following his unanimous points victory over the Mexican.<\/p>\n
Joshua knew he could ill-afford to suffer another defeat against Ruiz, who pulled off a huge upset back in June, and he came back and produced a tactical masterclass to silence his doubters.<\/p>\n
\"I have got a long way to go, Joshua told BBC Radio 5 Live after the fight. It's not about me, it's about Britain. We have taken boxing to the world and I'm always here to support grassroots boxing.<\/p>\n
I don't want to talk too much because I have done that a lot in the past, and a big mouth is not what people respect.<\/p>\n
While Joshua was the bookies favourite to win the fight, the outcome was far from a foregone conclusion.<\/p>\n
Ruiz Jr had already beaten AJ once and many fancied him to end his opponents career.<\/p>\n
But did The Simpsons correctly predict that Joshua would be too strong for Ruiz?<\/p>\n
As youre probably already aware, The Simpsons boasts a remarkable track record when it comes to predicting future events.<\/p>\n
The hugely-successful animated series correctly predicted that Donald Trump would become the US President, the NSA spying scandal, various Super Bowls, FIFAs corruption scandal, future technology and much more.<\/p>\n
Theres loads of evidence on YouTube and elsewhere on the internet and, to be honest, its a bit spooky.<\/p>\n
Now, this latest prediction is a bit more light-hearted than others.<\/p>\n
A still from the fight between Drederick Tatum and Homer Simpson looks extremely similar to a punch that Joshua landed on Ruiz Jr.<\/p>\n
And many people on social media were quick to make the same joke<\/p>\n
You have to admit, the two shots side-by-side are almost identical. Weird, huh?<\/p>\n
The Simpsons episode in question first aired back on November 10, 1996. So the creators were 23 years ahead of their time on this occasion.<\/p>\n
Ruiz probably wont be overly pleased at being compared to Homer, although he has admitted that he came into the Joshua rematch in poor shape.<\/p>\n
I gained too much weight, he told reporters. I dont want to give excuses, he won. He boxed me around. If we do a third fight you best believe Im going to get in shape. Ill be in the best shape of my life.<\/p>\n
