Joshua vs Ruiz

[BodyBagz]

By short notice, is that like coming back from an extended vacation or out of retirement ?

Last minute replacement.

But what was that guy doing prior to the call ?

[LA_2_Vegas]

Josesito Lopez (replacing Berto II) v Victor Ortiz

I think Quintana was a replacement v Paul Williams

If a guy just finished fighting a guy and sustained no injuries, as in Ruiz vs AJ, he was in fighting shape (for him).

IF a person was sitting on the couch, that would be a true last minute example. Imho

[RJJ-94-02=GOAT]

Steve Robinson coming in and upsetting John Davison to win the WBO title in 93 I think.

Not boxing but didn’t Nate Diaz take the McGregor fight on like 5 days notice or something?

It happens so infrequently that I figure all examples are welcome. If they were training for another fight at the same time, which they abandoned for a bigger payday, then feel free to include that factoid.
