This unexpected defeat has sent shockwaves through the boxing world, cementing Dubois as the new face of UK heavyweight boxing.
The highly anticipated showdown, billed as a clash between two of Britain’s top heavyweights, ended in mere seconds. Dubois, known for his power and precision, wasted no time, delivering a devastating right hand that sent Joshua to the canvas. The referee swiftly stopped the fight as Joshua struggled to regain his footing, marking one of the most dramatic upsets in recent boxing memory.

This loss raises questions about his future in the sport, with many wondering if this marks the end of his reign or if he can muster a comeback.
Meanwhile, Dubois’ stock has skyrocketed. After a controversial loss to Oleksandr Usyk, many questioned whether he had the mental and physical strength to become a top contender.
