Following the typically understated ringwalks, the 96,000 in the crowd roared on the fighters squaring off in the ring.
In the first round, Dubois started on the front foot and took up the centre of the ring, before unleashing an early flurry that had Joshua crouching and backing up. While Joshua appeared to swiftly recover, the last 15 seconds saw the former two-time champion throw a huge right – and miss – only for Dubois to land a bomb of his own and force his opponent to his knee before he got back to his feet as the bell rang.
A minute into the fifth, Joshua briefly looked to have a chance to pull off a mesmeric comeback, but Dubois unleashed a powerful right hand to leave Joshua comprehensively crumpled and beaten, unable to rouse himself to beat the count. eurosport.com
HC: Joshua should go and learn how to punch properly OR just retire!
