In his first-ever title defense, ‘Triple D’ sent Joshua’s career into turmoil, delivering a knockout blow to the jaw in Round 5 to claim a KO victory. Ultimately, he pulled off a major upset to retain his IBF heavyweight title on Saturday night.

For this fight, Joshua teamed up with the highly acclaimed coach Ben Davison, who has previously worked with Tyson Fury. In the post-fight conference, Joshua’s coach shed light on the game plan that went disastrously wrong against Daniel Dubois. He explained,
“We knew Dubois, he retreats when he jabs. We tried to capitalise on that for whatever reason, things didn’t get going in the early part of the fight. We just didn’t manage to get things going early.”

This defeat stands as one of the most devastating in Joshua’s career.
