Daniel Dubois Knocks-out Anthony Joshua To Retain IBF World Heavyweight Crown

 Daniel Dubois retained his IBF world heavyweight title with a fifth-round knockout of Anthony Joshua in an all-British spectacular at Wembley on Saturday.The 27-year-old dominated the opening stages of the bout, dropping the two-time former unified heavyweight champion multiple times.In a dramatic fifth round Dubois was momentarily stunned by two right hands and just as Joshua looked to pile on the pressure, the 34-year-old was caught by successive right hands himself and he was down again, this time unable to beat the count.“Are you not entertained?” Dubois said to huge cheers at Wembley.“I’m a gladiator. I am a warrior to the bitter end. I want to get to the top level of this sport and reach my potential.”Ukraine’s Oleksandr Usyk became boxing’s first four-belt undisputed heavyweight champion in May when he beat Tyson Fury, simultaneously holding the IBF title along with the WBO, WBC and WBA.The Ukrainian agreed to a rematch with Fury rather than facing mandatory IBF challenger Dubois.Dubois won the interim IBF title in June and was elevated to world champion status when Usyk vacated the belt.AFP
