Dubois (22-2) and Joshua (28-4) collided for the IBF heavyweight title earlier tonight in Wembley, in a contest scheduled for twelve rounds.

Daniel Dubois was of course returning to action for the first time since claiming the vacant IBF heavyweight title with an eighth-round TKO victory over Filip Hrgovic this past June.

Meanwhile, Anthony Joshua had entered tonight’s bout sporting a five-fight winning streak, his most recent victory being a brutal second-round knockout of former UFC champion Francis Ngannou in March of this year (see that here).

Although Dubois entered the fight with Joshua as the betting underdog, he proved the oddsmakers wrong with a brutal fifth-round knockout victory (see that here). ‘Triple D’ was able to overwhelm the former WBA, IBF and WBO champion from the opening bell, scoring his first of three knockdowns in the final seconds of the opening round. After dropping ‘AJ’ to his knees again in Round 3, Daniel Dubois ended the fight with a perfect overhand right at the 59-second mark of the fifth round.
