Dubois became the undefeated IBF heavyweight champion in the ring. In June, he defeated Filip Hrgovic to become the interim IBF champion, which puts him in a mandatory position to challenge his champion, Oleksandr Usyk. Just over a month after Usyk beat Tyson Fury to become the first undisputed world heavyweight champion in almost a quarter of a century, Usyk vacated the IBF belt and as a result, Dubois was promoted and became the new IBF champion. For Daniel Dubois, the fight against AJ provided an opportunity to win his first fight while competing for a major world championship. On the flipside, this fight provided Joshua with the opportunity to become only the fourth boxer in history to become a three-time heavyweight champion.
Joshua was the favorite going into it, but the fight ended up being a complete and total nightmare for the former two-time unified heavyweight champion. In a passing of the torch type event, Dubois thoroughly dominated Joshua from start to finish, dropping him four times before landing the big time knockout in the 5th round.
This edition of The Rummy corner will give a quick summary and review of the championship fight between Daniel Dubois and Anthony Joshua, while also providing opinions on where Dubois should go from here, and whether or not it is in Joshua’s best interest to activate the his rematch clause with Dubois. Please watch and enjoy the video for a man’s opinion. This is Rummy’s Corner (produced and narrated by Geoffrey Ciani).
