Though Joshua attempted to recover, Dubois consistently landed punishing shots, eventually leaving AJ on the canvas twice more in the third and fourth rounds. By the fifth, Joshua, who had been wobbling on unsteady legs, was unable to withstand the barrage. A thunderous right hand sealed his fate as Dubois knocked him out cold, cementing his place as a dominant force in the heavyweight division.
This victory marks a pivotal moment in Dubois’ career, solidifying his pursuit of greatness. His precise, heavy-handed performance against one of the sport’s most iconic figures positions him among the top-tier contenders for future title unifications. Joshua, meanwhile, will need to regroup after another shocking defeat. Fans are left wondering what’s next for both fighters, with Dubois eyeing potential matchups against the likes of Oleksandr Usyk or Tyson Fury.
