On the morning of September 22, Anthony Joshua lost the IBF heavyweight title match against Daniel Dubois at Wembley Stadium (England).

In the fifth round of the IBF heavyweight title fight, Anthony Joshua forced Daniel Dubois into the corner of the ring. However, in just a moment of carelessness, the “King of Boxing” was counterattacked by his opponent with a powerful overhand.

The blow was so powerful that Joshua could not stand up after the referee counted 10 seconds. The IBF title match ended with a knockout victory for champion Daniel Dubois.

Conor McGregor was excited to witness Daniel Dubois’ overwhelming performance against his senior Anthony Joshua.

This was one of the most unforgettable defeats of Joshua’s career. The 34-year-old boxer was knocked down by his junior three times, in the first, third and fourth rounds respectively.

Despite the rematch clause in the contract between the two parties, not many fans believe that Anthony Joshua can win. The IBF heavyweight title was owned by Joshua from 2016 to 2020. In 2021, this boxer lost all the titles to Oleksandr Usyk. After that, Dubois was recognized as the official champion when Usyk did not participate in the title fight according to the regulations.

Before defeating his compatriot Anthony Joshua, Daniel Dubois was just a “sidekick” for the British boxing team. “It’s been a roller coaster ride. It’s been amazing. Now is my time,” Dubois shared after the victory.
