Daniel Dubois stunned the world and knocked out Anthony Joshua in the fifth round of their bout for the IBF heavyweight title on Saturday night.

The two British rivals finally met inside the ring to battle it out for the IBF heavyweight title on Saturday night inside of a packed-out Wembley stadium.

From the opening bell, ‘Dynamite’ Dubois put on a sensational performance as he dominated his rival and scored a knockdown in the opening round.

‘AJ’ never looked as though he’d truly recovered from the early blow and was on the canvas once again in the third round, just seconds before the bell rang. 

It was all over two rounds later after Joshua caught Dubois and charged forward before the IBF heavyweight champion delivered a brutal hook that sent his rival to the canvas.
