Knyba beats Ruiz but came close to being robbed of victory

Damian Knyba defeated former world champion Andy Ruiz Jr. in New Jersey and returned to the heavyweight top rankings. The fight sparked major controversy: in the seventh round alone, many believed Knyba should have won by technical knockout, and the judges' final decision nearly led to a scandalous loss for Knyba. Prominent American boxing journalist Dan Rafael expressed outrage over the matter.
