Daniel Dubois defended his IBF title by surprisingly stunning his opponent Anthony Joshua at the all-Brit Boxing fight in Wembley, MySportDab reports.
With his sharp and fast punches, delivered precisely and perfectly, the IBF Champion was able to get the better of Anthony Joshua in the fifth round.
From the start, Anthony Joshua fell off badly against Dubois and was struggling to match the opponent’s drive, confidence, and incessant offensives.
Before being finally knocked down in the 5th round, he was already down four times and was obviously heading towards a defeat.

Overall, it was a fluke of a performance by Joshua. Before going down, he had attempted to get on Dubois with several punches but missed a number of them before falling helplessly to Dubois’ one-time blow.
Dubois was declared the winner with the Brit now having a chance to fight the winner between Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Zinchenko who will clashed on December 21, 2024.
Speaking after the loss, Anthony attributed his loss to “a lot of mistakes on his end.”
“I had a sharp opponent and a fast opponent. And secondly, a lot of mistakes from my end,” he told DAZN.
As Dubois said after the win;
“I’m just a gladiator. I’m just a warrior to the end, to the bitter end.”
It is yet unclear whether Anthony Joshua will call time on his boxing career following the defeat. It is his fourth defeat in over 30 fights.
