Dubois puts Anthony Joshua to sleep with stunning 5th-round knockout
Daniel Dubois delivered a jaw-dropping demolition of fellow Brit Anthony Joshua in just five electrifying rounds, catapulting himself into global superstardom before a roaring 96,000 fans at Wembley Stadium on Saturday night.
The 27-year-old Londoner floored Joshua multiple times, retaining his IBF heavyweight title and shattering the career of his domestic rival. With a thunderous counter right hook, Dubois sealed the biggest victory of his life, cementing his place among boxing’s elite.
“Are you not entertained?” Dubois roared to the frenzied crowd. “I’m a gladiator. I’m a warrior to the bitter end. I want to reach the pinnacle of this sport.”
Joshua’s bid for a historic third world title came crashing down in the most shocking and devastating fashion.
The 34-year-old former champ, who had reigned supreme over the division, suffered his fourth career loss, leaving his future in doubt.
Dubois, ecstatic and triumphant, finally seized the crowning moment that had previously eluded him after being elevated to world champion when Oleksandr Usyk vacated the belt. Meanwhile, the boxing world now waits with bated breath to see what’s next for the fallen giant, Anthony Joshua.
