Anthony Joshua missed out on the chance to become a three-time heavyweight world champion after he was stopped by British rival Daniel Dubois in the fifth round.
Dubois knocked down Joshua toward the end of the opening round with an overhand right, before dropping his opponent at the end of round three, twice in the fourth, and then again in the fifth.
The fighters went toe to toe at London’s Wembley Stadium in front of a record 96,000 fans.
British champion Dubois, who before tonight had never fought at Wembley, was elevated to the IBF title holder after Oleksandr Usyk relinquished the belt.
Joshua outweighed Dubois by four pounds, despite a career-heaviest weight for his rival, ahead of the fight.
Among those watching was Tyson Fury, the former WBC heavyweight champion, who took a ringside seat.
