Dubois Retains IBF Title with Dominant Knockout Victory Over Anthony Joshua
Daniel Dubois successfully defended his IBF world heavyweight title against Anthony Joshua, knocking out the two-time former unified heavyweight champion in the fifth round at Wembley Stadium.
Dubois, 27, showcased his strength and skill, winning all five rounds and dropping Joshua four times. Despite Joshua’s brief resurgence in the fifth round, Dubois’s successive right hands proved too much, leaving Joshua unable to beat the count.
“Are you not entertained?” Dubois exclaimed to the cheering crowd. “I’m a gladiator. I am a warrior to the bitter end. I want to get to the top level of this sport and reach my potential.”
Dubois’s victory solidifies his position as IBF champion, a title he acquired after Oleksandr Usyk vacated the belt to pursue a rematch with Tyson Fury. Usyk made history in May by becoming boxing’s first four-belt undisputed heavyweight champion.
With this win, Dubois cemented his reputation as a formidable force in the heavyweight division. As he looks to the future, fans eagerly anticipate his next challenge.
