Usyk explains why he thinks Joshua may struggle against him after Dubois' loss.

It was a historic night at Wembley as Daniel Dubois put on a dominating performance against Anthony Joshua, much to the surprise of many boxing fans. With a crowd of 96,000 people cheering him on, Dubois successfully defended his IBF heavyweight title by knocking out Joshua in just five rounds.

Despite momentarily wobbling Dubois in the fifth round, Joshua struggled to keep up with his opponent's power and ultimately fell victim to a devastating counter right hand. This marked Joshua's fourth professional defeat, which has left many questioning his skills in the ring.

Oleksandr Usyk, who has faced Joshua twice in the past, was also in attendance at the fight. He believes that the biggest issue for Joshua was his footwork, or lack thereof, which made him vulnerable to Dubois' attacks. Usyk expressed that if Joshua had moved his feet instead of leaning back, he could have avoided being caught off guard.

Usyk's promoter, Alexander Krassyuk, also criticized Joshua for his poor defense against Dubois. He noted that Joshua's footwork and mentality seemed to be off, making him a different fighter than what everyone expected. Krassyuk also pointed out that Joshua's right hand was down by his chest, leaving his chin exposed and making him an easy target for Dubois.

Former world heavyweight champion, Lennox Lewis, also chimed in on Joshua's performance. He highlighted the mistake of not throwing a jab before attempting an uppercut, which ultimately left Joshua vulnerable to Dubois' power. Lewis also noted that Joshua's chin was up, which is a dangerous position to be in against a fighter known for delivering powerful right hands.

Overall, it was a stunning victory for Dubois and a tough loss for Joshua. With many experts pointing out the flaws in Joshua's performance, it will be interesting to see how he bounces back in his future fights. But one thing is for sure, Dubois proved himself to be the better fighter that night and solidified his spot as the IBF heavyweight champion.
