Daniel Dubois had every reason to celebrate his victory against Anthony Joshua at Wembley on Saturday. But for those considering a comeback, the night served as a cautionary tale. Both Joshua and Liam Gallagher, who performed before the fight, suffered crushing blows to their legacies within just one hour of each other.
Gallagher, the frontman of Oasis, may have sold out expensive tickets for the band's summer shows, but his singing before the big fight was heavily criticized as being flat and lackluster. He may have lasted 15 minutes on stage, but that was longer than Joshua, who was knocked out before the fifth round by Dubois, known as "Dynamite Dan."
It was a shocking upset, as Joshua was heavily favored to win the blockbuster fight. But Dubois, who was seen as the underdog, proved everyone wrong. He now holds all the power and has options for his next move, including a rematch with Joshua or a fight with other top-ranked heavyweights like Joseph Parker or Joe Joyce.
Meanwhile, Joshua will have to start over and rebuild his career. The highly anticipated showdown with Tyson Fury seems further away than ever, and the excitement surrounding it has faded. However, despite these disappointments, one clear winner emerged from Saturday night - the sport of boxing itself.
And for those willing to look beyond nationalistic biases, there are plenty of other thrilling matches to watch, such as the upcoming bout between light-heavyweight champions Artur Beterbiev and Dmitrii Bivol. The winner of this fight may even make a move to the heavyweight division, with Beterbiev being the favorite to win.
In other sports news, the Cincinnati Bengals are expected to beat the Washington Commanders by more than 5.5 points and the Buffalo Bills are favored to win against the Jacksonville Jaguars by over 3.5 points. And for those looking for a potential upset, Fleetwood is favored to lead and win against Morecambe in their League Two derby.
In the end, whether in boxing or other sports, it's always important to keep an open mind and appreciate the skill and talent of athletes from all countries. That's what makes the world of sports so exciting and unpredictable.
