In a jaw-dropping upset, Daniel Dubois has turned Anthony Joshua’s world upside down following a stunning knockout in the fifth round of their highly anticipated heavyweight title clash at Wembley Stadium in London on Saturday night.

This dramatic victory marks Dubois' successful defense of his IBF world heavyweight title, bringing Joshua’s aspirations of a triumphant return to three-time heavyweight champion status to a crushing halt.

Fans witnessed a rollercoaster of emotions as Joshua, who was met with roaring cheers from a record-breaking crowd of 96,000, was violently floored not once, but twice—once in the first round and again in the third—before Dubois delivered the final blow, a crushing right hand to the jaw, just 59 seconds into the fifth round.

Amidst Joshua's reputation for power, following a knockout victory over UFC star Francis Ngannou early last year, it was Dubois' raw strength and relentless aggression that ultimately dominated the match.

From the very first round, it was apparent that Joshua was struggling, exhibiting signs of vulnerability as he staggered around the ring, clearly shaken by Dubois' offensive onslaught.

The implications of this victory are massive; Dubois is now firmly in the conversation for a shot at the undisputed heavyweight championship title in 2025.

This opportunity hinges on the upcoming bout between WBC, WBA, and WBO champion Oleksandr Usyk and the formidable Tyson Fury, scheduled for December 21.

Both champions were in attendance, closely observing the action that unfolded in the ring.

Interestingly, Dubois faced Usyk last year, suffering a stoppage loss in the ninth round, which adds an intriguing angle should a rematch materialize.

For Joshua, the path forward seems uncertain; he now faces not only the prospect of a rematch with Dubois but also the potential of taking on the loser of the upcoming Usyk-Fury fight, as he looks to recover from yet another significant setback in his career.

As fans and pundits scramble to analyze the aftermath of this monumental fight, one thing is clear: Daniel Dubois has not just announced his arrival at the pinnacle of heavyweight boxing; he has shaken the very foundations of the sport and left an indelible mark on Anthony Joshua's legacy.

Will Joshua rise from the ashes of this defeat, or is this the beginning of a long road to redemption? Stay tuned!
