Daniel Dubois vs Anthony Joshua
The boxing world witnessed a seismic upset on September 21, 2024, when Daniel Dubois, the underdog IBF heavyweight champion, knocked out former two-time unified champion Anthony Joshua in the fifth round at Wembley Stadium.

Although both fighters started cautiously, feeling each other out, Dubois however, landed a few notable jabs, hinting at his intentions to take the fight to Joshua.
In Round 2, the younger boxer stunned the crowd with a powerful body shot that dropped his experienced opponent to the canvas. Even though Joshua beat the count, the momentum had shifted in Dubois' favour.
The Anglo-Nigerian tried to regain control but could not withstand the 27-year-old's aggression, and the match ended in the fifth round after a perfectly timed counter right hook landed flush on the two-time unified champion’s chin, sending him crashing to the canvas.

Daniel Dubois vs Usyk
The heavyweight clash between Daniel Dubois and Oleksandr Usyk on August 26, 2023, was a highly anticipated tussle.
Usyk, the reigning WBA (Super), IBF, WBO, and IBO heavyweight champion, faced a young and hungry challenger in Dubois, known for his devastating knockout power.
)
The fight started with the Ukrainian showcasing his superior boxing skills and movement, landing clean jabs and combinations on the Briton.
However, the London-born fighter remained patient and looked for opportunities to unleash his power punches. In the fifth round, Dynamite landed a controversial blow to Usyk's midsection, which the referee deemed a low blow.
The Cat was given several minutes to recover, and the fight resumed. Dubois maintained his composure and continued to press forward, but Usyk's accuracy and defence proved challenging to overcome.
The turning point came in the eighth round when the Ukrainian landed a series of punches that staggered the Briton.
Sensing an opportunity, Usyk increased his aggression, landing more powerful shots that visibly hurt his opponent. In the ninth round, the Cat unleashed a flurry of punches that sent Dubois to the canvas.
)
Although the London-born fighter managed to get back to his feet, he was clearly in trouble, and Usyk continued his assault, forcing Dubois to take a knee.
The referee, seeing that Dubois was unable to continue, stopped the fight and declared Usyk the winner by technical knockout.
Regardless, the controversial low blow in the fifth round remains a point of contention. Some argued that it was a legal punch to the beltline, while others believed it was below the belt.
Nevertheless, the incident disrupted the momentum Dubois was building and allowed Usyk to regain control of the fight.
