Daniel Dubois put in the performance of his career at Wembley Stadium last night.
The 27-year-old was making the first defence of his IBF title that won when he was upgraded to ‘full champion’ from ‘Interim champion’ after Oleksandr Usyk had vacated the belt.
Dubois started very brightly and forced Joshua backwards, using his ram-rod jab and right-hand effectively.
It looked as if the fight could end at any moment with Joshua hurt by every big shot that Dubois landed.
But somehow we saw round five and Joshua appeared to be making a comeback when he buckled Dubois’ knees and went in for the kill only to be countered by a brutal right hook that left him out for the count on the canvas.
New ringside footage of the knockout has emerged on social media and shows the moment that left ‘AJ’ down and out.
