Daniel Dubois shocked the boxing world by defeating Anthony Joshua in a spectacular fashion, knocking him out in the fifth round during their highly anticipated bout at Wembley Stadium. Dubois, known as "Dynamite," retained his IBF heavyweight title, delivering four knockdowns before the referee waved the fight off.
From the opening bell, Dubois dominated the match, landing heavy right hooks that left Joshua struggling to recover. The fight, which many expected to be Joshua's chance to reclaim former glory, instead saw the younger Dubois dismantling the 34-year-old former champion with ease. Dubois’ powerful punches overwhelmed Joshua, who managed to rise from the canvas multiple times but was clearly outmatched.
The victory not only solidified Dubois’ standing in the heavyweight division but also cast doubt on Joshua's future in the sport. With speculation around a potential showdown with Tyson Fury, this defeat puts such a fight in serious jeopardy. Meanwhile, Dubois is now seen as the new force in heavyweight boxing, with fans and analysts alike eager to see what’s next for the 27-year-old champion.
Joshua, once the pride of British boxing, is now faced with questions about his career, while Dubois looks ahead to even bigger challenges in the ring.
