Daniel Dubois shot himself to fame by demolishing Anthony Joshua to claim the IBF title, but what’s next for the boxer?
When Daniel Dubois stopped British Olympic gold-medallist Anthony Joshua in the fifth round of their heavyweight boxing fight on Saturday, the little-known fighter not only sealed the International Boxing Federation (IBF) heavyweight title but also cemented his place among the world’s best in the division.
Joshua, 34, was the favourite to beat his compatriot and continue his attempt to become world champion for a third time, only to be stopped by the man seven years his junior.
The emphatic nature of Dubois’s win has catapulted him to the top of the heavyweight division in his country and sent reverberations around the boxing world.
Al Jazeera looks at what it all means for Dubois and the heavyweight division:
Dubois was born in Greenwich, London, where his father began training him as a boxer at an early age. A home-schooled child, Dubois loved boxing and later joined boxing clubs in south London.
