When Daniel Dubois stopped British Olympic gold-medallist Anthony Joshua in the fifth round of their heavyweight boxing fight on Saturday, the little-known fighter not only sealed the International Boxing Federation (IBF) heavyweight title but also cemented his place among the world’s best in the division.
Joshua, 34, was the favourite to beat his compatriot and continue his attempt to become world champion for a third time, only to be stopped by the man seven years his junior.
