British heavyweight Anthony Joshua has endured the second knockout defeat of his career, losing to Daniel Dubois in their highly anticipated title fight at Wembley Stadium.
Dubois, the reigning IBF heavyweight champion, controlled the fight from the outset, knocking Joshua down twice before delivering a powerful right hand in the fifth round. The punch sent Joshua face-first to the canvas, and despite his efforts to recover, the referee waved off the fight, handing Dubois a definitive victory and Joshua a crushing defeat.
This latest setback dims Joshua’s aspirations of reclaiming a world title for the third time.
