The knockout came just seconds after Joshua’s biggest moment of the fight. Joshua had finally connected cleanly on a right hand that wobbled Dubois’ legs. As he charged forward trying to flurry and finish Dubois, Joshua left himself wide open to a right hand that dropped him to the canvas and unable to will his body to stand before the referee’s count reached 10.

Considering how close some of the rounds were, it’s a bit remarkable that all three judges scored the fight similarly, at 116-112. But with each judge scoring each round individually the overall consensus shows just how strong Usyk’s showing really was.
Unbeaten IBF #6, WBC #7 super welterweight ‘King’ Callum Walsh (12-0, 10 KOs), of Cork, Ireland, returns to headline St. Patrick’s Day Weekend at The Theater at Madison Square Garden against ‘Deadly’ Dean Sutherland (19-1, 7 KOs), of Aberdeen, Scotland, in the ten round main event on Sunday, March 16.

Boots (33-0, 29 KOs) retained his IBF welterweight title with a 12-round unanimous decision win over Karen Chukhadzhian in a rematch that only the IBF was interested in seeing. With that said, the Ukrainian challenger put up stiff resistance and performed much better than in their January 2023 encounter.

He added: “I got to speak to Vince and the boys. I know Drew McIntyre has been saying a lot of things about me. I’d love to be in Cardiff. I enjoyed it last time in Saudi Arabia; it was fantastic. We’re going to be in contact and see if we can make SummerSlam a reality.”

2024 has been one of the biggest years in recent memory for boxing’s heavyweight division. Among the biggest landscape-shifting moments for the division came this past Saturday in the form of Daniel Dubois’ one-sided domination of Anthony Joshua to retain the IBF heavyweight championship.
While Joshua has been an elite heavyweight for most of his career, including twice being a unified champion, he has not been immune to disappointing performances. No disappointment is more infamous than Joshua’s June 2019 knockout loss to Andy Ruiz Jr. in a fight where Joshua entered as a roughly -2500 favorite. Joshua has always managed to learn and adjust after those step-back performances. He did exactly that in the rematch with Ruiz and he showed up much better in his rematch with Usyk after losing their first meeting, even though Usyk also won the rematch. For that reason, Joshua shouldn’t be counted out against Dubois in the rematch. Joshua wasn’t ready for Dubois’ aggression and allowed multiple defensive deficiencies to be on display.
“If Fury doesn’t want the fight, there’s nothing you can do. You can’t drag him into the fight. I don’t know whether this was a move to stop the flow of pressure because with AJ calling him out, pressure is mounting.”
