Daniel Dubois sensationally dismantled fellow Briton Anthony Joshua in five rounds to catapult himself into global sporting stardom in front of 96,000 fans at Wembley Stadium. The 27-year-old dropped Joshua multiple times to retain the IBF heavyweight title and leave his domestic rival's career in ruins. Londoner Dubois stopped Joshua, 34, with an incredible counter right hook to secure the biggest win of his 24-fight career. Are you not entertained? Dubois shouted post-fight, to huge cheers in the packed-out stadium. I'm a gladiator. I am a warrior to the bitter end. I want to get to the top level of this sport and reach my potential. Joshua's bid to become a three-time champion and return to the division's top table ended in the most dramatic and unexpected fashion. AJ – who won his first world title more than eight years ago – suffered a fourth loss in his 32nd bout, but hinted he will continue in the sport and has a clause to trigger a rematch with Dubois. You know I'm ready to kick off in the ring but I'm going to keep it respectful, he said. Before I came here, I always say to myself I'm a fighter for life. You keep rolling the dice. An ecstatic Dubois, meanwhile, enjoyed the crowning moment which had eluded him after he was elevated to world champion when Oleksandr Usyk vacated the belt.
