Daniel Dubois stops Anthony Joshua with devastating fifth-round knockout

Anthony Joshua’s career rebuild suffered a devastating setback after he collapsed to a brutal fifth-round knockout by Daniel Dubois at Wembley.

Fighting with the aim of setting up a clash with the winner of Tyson Fury’s rematch with Oleksandr Usyk in December, Joshua was instead dominated from start to finish and was floored four times.

Dubois spoke of his determination to “legitimise” his reign as IBF champion after being given the belt which Usyk vacated in June and he did exactly that with a destructive display that could signal the end of Joshua’s career.
