DAZN has partnered with Sylvester Stallone’s Balboa Productions to produce "One Night: Joshua vs. Ruiz." This is the first of a documentary series looking back at unforgettable nights in recent boxing history.

This episode is an oral history of the night Andy Ruiz Jr. beat the then-undefeated Anthony Joshua with a seventh-round TKO to become the first Mexican heavyweight champion of the world. 

The trailer was released Tuesday. 

In a statement, Stallone, who famously portrayed Rocky Balboa, said, “My Hollywood script came to life that historic June night when unknown boxer Andy Ruiz achieved a victory that shocked the world. It was the real-life Rocky and the perfect story to kick off our partnership with DAZN. . . . This sport reveals the souls of these courageous warriors like no other sport can so it’s a privilege to be very involved with DAZN and their revolutionary programming.”

The 73-year-old actor executive-produced and appears in the documentary. 

Here's how Michael Buffer and Adnan Virk reacted to the "One Night" trailer:

The Joshua vs. Ruiz "One Night" episode will air on DAZN and DAZN YouTube on Wednesday, Nov. 20, ahead of their highly anticipated rematch in Saudi Arabia on Dec. 7.
