During the fifth round, Daniel Dubois was able to successfully defend his IBF heavyweight title by knocking out Anthony Joshua, a former world champion who had won the belt twice. Joshua had previously held the title more than twice. A total of two titles have been won by Joshua in the past. In addition to being Dubois’s first attempt at defending his title, this particular defence was also a particularly successful one.
96,000 spectators, a record for boxing fan attendance since the war, watched every fight at the event, which took place on Saturday at Wembley Stadium in London. The location of the event, which was that which took place in London, was London.
After Joshua had already been knocked down in the first and third rounds, the referee decided to stop the fight and decide whether or not to continue. Following the delivery of a crushing straight right punch by Dubois, which resulted in him falling face down, the referee was compelled to order the conclusion of the fight.
After Oleksandr Usyk vacated the International Boxing Federation (IBF) championship in June, Dubois was able to successfully defend his title for the first time. This was the first time that Dubois had this opportunity. This was the very first time that Dubois had the chance to perform this action.
Due to the fact that Dubois has been able to firmly establish himself as a heavyweight champion, he has put himself in a position to potentially face the winner of the rematch that is expected to take place between Oleksandr Usyk, who is the current champion of the WBA, WBC, and WBO, and Tyson Fury. This rematch is expected to take place in the near future.
