With remarkable precision and power, Daniel Dubois sent Joshua to the canvas multiple times starting from round one, ultimately securing a resounding win and retaining the IBF heavyweight title via a 5th round knockout.
Dubois, a 27-year-old from London, sealed his place in the annals of sporting history with a devastating counter right hook that brought an end to Joshua’s night.
In the aftermath of his triumph, Dubois jubilantly addressed the crowd, declaring himself a gladiator and a warrior driven by an unyielding desire to ascend to the pinnacle of the sport.
Dubois told the cheering crowd: “Are you not entertained?
“I’m a gladiator. I am a warrior to the bitter end. I want to get to the top level of this sport and reach my potential.”
For Joshua, a former Olympic gold medalist and a seasoned veteran in the ring, the defeat marked a significant setback in his quest for a third-world title. With this loss, his career trajectory has been significantly altered, and the path forward is filled with uncertainty.
The dramatic and unexpected nature of Dubois’ victory has left the boxing world abuzz with speculation about Joshua’s next steps.
Meanwhile, for Dubois, this triumph served as the long-awaited crowning achievement, solidifying his status as a world champion after Oleksandr Usyk relinquished the IBF Heavyweight belt for tonight’s fight.
