Britain's Daniel Dubois destroyed Anthony Joshua's dream of becoming a three-time heavyweight world champion with a fifth-round knockout to retain his International Boxing Federation (IBF) belt at a packed Wembley Stadium on Sept 21.Britain's Daniel Dubois destroyed Anthony Joshua's dream of becoming a three-time heavyweight world champion with a fifth-round knockout to retain his International Boxing Federation (IBF) belt at a packed Wembley Stadium on Sept 21.

Dubois dropped his compatriot to the canvas in the opening round with a stinging right, the referee delivering a standing eight count, and the 27-year-old proceeded to tear up the pre-fight predictions as swiftly as he ripped into his opponent.

Joshua, 34, took another hammering in round 2 but managed to ride out the storm before round 3 came crashing down around him again.

With Dubois landing more fizzing right-handers, Joshua was literally on the ropes before being saved by the bell.

He could barely stand at the end of the fourth, after going down again with two minutes remaining, and then it was all over in the fifth, with the painstaking rebuilding of his career suddenly in ruins.
