Daniel Dubois retained his IBF world heavyweight title with a dominant victory over Anthony Joshua on Saturday night at a packed Wembley Stadium.
The highly anticipated showdown saw the two British heavyweights square off, with big names like Tyson Fury, Conor McGregor, and Oleksandr Usyk in attendance to witness the bout on home soil.
Before the main event, fans were treated to a performance by Liam Gallagher as excitement built for the fighters’ ring walks. As the fight began, Dubois wasted no time, delivering a powerful right hand late in the first round.
Joshua barely beat the count, with the bell saving him from further punishment.
In the second round, Dubois continued his aggressive assault, looking to finish the fight early. The 34-year-old Joshua appeared unsteady as Dubois landed several clean shots.
The third round saw more of the same, with Joshua hitting the canvas once again, only to be saved by the bell. The decisive moment came in the fifth round when Dubois unleashed a massive punch that floored Joshua for the final time.
This time, the referee had no choice but to stop the fight, with Joshua unable to beat the count. With this impressive victory, Dubois successfully defended his title.
