Daniel Dubois Stuns Anthony Joshua with Fifth-Round Knockout at Wembley

Britain's Daniel Dubois stunned two-time world champion Anthony Joshua with a decisive fifth-round knockout, retaining his IBF world heavyweight boxing title at a jam-packed Wembley Stadium on Saturday.

Dubois opened the bout with a fierce right that floored Joshua, prompting a standing eight count from the referee. Despite pre-fight predictions favoring Joshua, Dubois dominated, repeatedly driving his opponent into the ropes.

Joshua's defense faltered under a barrage of right-handers, and he struggled to remain upright by the fourth round. The fight ended abruptly in the fifth, with Joshua unable to continue. The match drew a record crowd of 96,000, the largest at Wembley since World War Two.
