BOOM TIME FOR DYNAMITE DAN

Dubois shows Joshua he is now a world beater

- Chris McKenna

IT WAS a few hours after the lights had gone down when the heavens opened over London.

But Daniel Dubois had already rained down on Anthony Joshua with a thunderous right hand that will write his name into Wembley Stadium folklore.

It was a counter shot that will stand the test of time. It will be on knockout highlight reels for years to come. Joshua, 34, had already been down in the first, third and fourth, but the fifthround finish was the exclamation mark on a display of a lifetime from Dubois.

Think Juan Manuel Marquez's right hand that sent Manny Pacquiao face first into the canvas. Or Sergio Martinez putting Paul Williams out cold. Andy Lee walking John Jackson on to one as well. They are worth your time on YouTube. It is often the one you do not see that does the most damage.

Joshua was blinded by going for the kill himself and got punished to be sent to his fourth career defeat.

It would be wrong to say it was an intentional trap set by Dubois in the fifth round. He was hurt himself after Joshua looked to have found a way back with a right hand of his own.
