Deontay Wilder had some words, too.
He wasn’t a true champion. His whole career was consisted of lies, contradictions and gifts.

Others pointed out Ruiz’s Twitter header as a reason that Joshua should not have lost.
Anthony Joshua lost to a guy who isn’t verified on twitter and has a snickers bar as his header. You hate to see it. pic.twitter.com/bFz0BKjiIw— Faizal Khamisa (@SNFaizalKhamisa) June 2, 2019
