In an explosive fight at Wembley Stadium on Saturday, September 21, Daniel Dubois defended his IBF heavyweight world title in a dominant fashion, defeating Anthony Joshua by a knockout in the fifth round.
The 27-year-old British champion took control from the opening bell, landing powerful punches that Joshua struggled to counter. Joshua was knocked down four times during the fight, and the final blow came in the fifth round, a crushing right hand to the chin that ended the match.
This victory solidifies Dubois as a major force in the heavyweight division, improving his record to 21-3. For Joshua, it’s a tough setback. He was eyeing a potential fight against the winner of the highly anticipated December 21 clash between Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury. With this loss, Joshua's future in the division looks uncertain.
The fight was so one-sided that Joshua was rushed to the hospital afterward for treatment. It’s a tough moment for the former champion, and fans from Nigeria and around the world are standing by him during this difficult time.
With Dubois retaining the title, he's now likely to get a shot at fighting one of the biggest names in the heavyweight division—either Usyk or Fury. This win has put him in the spotlight, making him a serious contender for future unification bouts.
For Joshua, this defeat marks another challenging chapter in his career. After suffering multiple setbacks in recent years, he’ll need to reassess his position and decide how to move forward.
