Dubois Knocks Out Anthony Joshua In 5th Round, Retains IBF Title
Daniel Dubois was too strong and good for Anthony Joshua, winning all five rounds and knocking down Joshua in four of them to retain the IBF world heavyweight title.
The defect makes it the second knockout defeat of his career, falling to Daniel Dubois in their all-British heavyweight title fight at Wembley Stadium.
Dubois, the IBF heavyweight champion, dominated the bout from the opening round, knocking Joshua down twice before landing a decisive right hand in the fifth round that sent Joshua face down on the canvas.
Despite Joshua’s attempt to rise, the referee called an end to the fight, sealing Dubois’ victory and Joshua’s shocking defeat.
This marks Joshua’s second knockout loss, dimming his hopes of a third world title reign.
