But the other main rival of Joshua, Deontay Wilder, was not so kind, as he called him a fraudster.

"He was not a real champion. His entire career has been made up of lies, contradictions and donations, "said the WBC champion. "The facts and now we know who was running who !!!"

However, the reactions were not limited to the current heavyweight division, and a spectator interested in Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson said he felt Ruiz was upset.

"I've had a funny feeling all week about this fight," Johnson wrote on Twitter. "BRABES congratulations and respect to Andy Ruiz, the new heavyweight world champion (and for the first time Mexican). I watched some of Andy 's training this week – the guy has fast hands and hits hard ******. AJ will probably come back better.

Joshua seemed stunned by the repeated reversals (AP)

Former world heavyweight champion Frank Bruno took a different approach, pointing out that something was wrong with Joshua from the beginning. Joshua has denied any questions about his condition, but Bruno thinks he has heard something from Joshua between rounds that could add weight to this argument.

"I'm not sure it's right for me, but @anthonyfjoshua said at one of the sleeves" Why do I feel like that? ".

Lennox Lewis, former undisputed heavyweight champion, added, "I do not even know what to say now! But I want to congratulate Andy Ruiz for becoming the first EVER Mexican EVER Champion! #Respect To AJ … Take (sic) and learn. Do not worry, you'll bounce!

George Foreman said: "AJ was persuaded to fight a fighter who should have been much more respectful as Ruiz was a good fighter for a while."

Canelo Alvarez, the Mexican of Ruiz, joined the festival atmosphere by publishing: "Viva Mexicooooo! Congratulations Andy, I am delighted to see someone with determination succeed. "
