Dubois returned from a pair of difficult defeats to score the biggest win of his career on Saturday
For almost the entirety of the build to Saturday's IBF heavyweight title bout in London, the narrative of the fight surrounded just how rejuvenated and dangerous former unified champion Anthony Joshua appeared to be at age 34 following three knockout wins in 13 months.
It never seemed to matter much that Daniel Dubois (22-2, 21 KOs) entered the fight as the defending champion or the fact that the 27-year-old native of London brought a 95% knockout rate to pair with his 6-foot-5 frame and two consecutive knockouts of his own since December.
If the focus wasn't about Joshua (28-4, 25 KOs), including how he might fair against the winner of the Oleksandr Usyk-Tyson Fury rematch in December for the other three heavyweight titles, it was the record-breaking crowd of 96,000 expected inside Wembley Stadium and what type of electric atmosphere these two athletic, super heavyweights could produce once they began exchanging heavy punches.
