Daniel Dubois stunned Anthony Joshua with a huge KO victory at Wembley on Saturday evening.

Dubois, who was defending his IBF heavyweight title for the first time, floored Joshua three times in the opening four rounds before the 27-year-old ended the fight with a devastating right hand in the fifth.

The first knockdown from Dubois came with a crashing overhand right in the final minute of the opening round which sent Joshua to the canvas. Joshua made it to his feet and fortunately for him, the bell saved him before Dubois could close in.

Joshua was down on the canvas for a second time at the end of round three and was saved by the bell once again.

After the fourth round, Joshua could be heard telling his trainer Ben Davison: ‘I live for moments like this.’

Joshua also called Dubois ‘s***’ whilst sat on his stool.

But the end came in the fifth when Dubois sucked up a heavy punch from Joshua before he countered with a huge right, which left Joshua laying on the canvas.
