Photos: Still on the #JoshuaRuiz matter! Was Anthony Joshua drugged or what?

A dazed and confused Anthony Joshua had to ask his corner 'why am I feeling like this?' in concerning footage from his shock defeat by Andy Ruiz Jnr in New York on Saturday night.

The Mexican - who only took on the fight with six weeks' notice - achieved one of the greatest upsets ever seen in boxing to take Joshua's WBA, WBO and IBF belts with a seventh round stoppage at Madison Square Garden. But the impact of Ruiz's punches gave cause for concern as Joshua showed signs of potential psychological damage in the latter stages of the fight. He was eventually cleared of lasting damage by a brain scan in the dressing room immediately after the contest but there were worrying signs nonetheless.

Joshua had clearly been rattled during the pulsating brawl after Ruiz sent him to the canvas twice in the third round as the chances of an almighty shock increased. And it was apparent by the end of the fifth round that Joshua was suffering psychologically and was in deep trouble as he asked trainer Rob McCracken: 'What round is it?' If Joshua appeared to recover throughout the fourth and fifth, in the sixth he again became hesitant even if there was little sign that he was about to be stopped. By the end of the sixth, Joshua was struggling with a bloodied nose after his Mexican opponent landed even more shots and asked his team: 'Why am I feeling like this?' The exchange was picked up by the large number of ringside microphones at Madison Square Garden and broadcast on worldwide television coverage.
At the end of the fifth round, a dazed Joshua turned round to ask his corner what round it was as he lost track.
