Dubois made a stunning start

Joshua was saved by the bell at the end of the third round. A massive left hook sent him into the ropes, stunning him, and Dubois then unleashed a ferocious onslaught, hammering him down to the canvas again.

He made it upright on the bell to end the round.

But a Dubois left hook tipped him over at the start of the fourth round. Joshua lost his footing afterwards. That was not ruled a knockdown but he was in desperate danger.

Dubois’ left hook continued to find Joshua, but remarkably the former champion steered himself through the rest of the round.

He roared back at Dubois for a moment in the fifth, but a countering right hook knocked him down and out.
