Daniel Dubois defeats Anthony Joshua by knockout in fifth round, speaks out

Daniel Dubois defeated Anthony Joshua by fifth-round knockout on Saturday to retain his IBF heavyweight title.

Dubois produced a stunning performance in front of a sellout crowd of 96,000 at Wembley Stadium in London.

The 27-year-old knocked down Joshua four times and finished him off in the fifth round with a right to the chin.

This latest defeat represents a huge setback for Joshua, who was in position to secure a likely fight against the winner of the December 21 bout between Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury.

Dubois will get that shot after improving to 21-3.

Speaking after his victory over Joshua, Dubois said at Wembley:

“l have only got a few words to say: Are you not entertained?

“Im a gladiator, I’m a warrior to the bitter end. I want to get to the top level of this game and reach my full potential.

“I have been on a rollercoaster ride. This is my time, this is my redemption story, and I’m not going to stop until l reach my full potential.”
