We’re seeing the end of an era. At 27 Dubois has time in his side. The fight in Dec, if it happens, will see both Usyk & Fury retire.

I know he's just been hit in the head a few times, but Dubois doesn't half sound like a simpleton.

Reminded me of Floyd Wetherton.

Fury is gonna be the type that will have about 5 or 6 losses in a row before he gives it up well into his 40s after multiple comebacks from retirement IMO.

I could see him fighting YouTubers like Mayweather

Agree with the end of an era thing. If Fury carries on after a potential Uysk rematch it'll be the farcical YouTube type of shite.

Joshua never recovered from the early knockdown and Dubois just looked the sharper, stronger and more dangerous fighter until it ended.

Albeit Joshua's best punch of the night rocked Dubois but 10 seconds later he was on the deck himself. Pretty gruesome watching him trying to get to his feet and being unable to lift his head off the canvas.

A quality performance on the night by Dubois.

It’s hard putting yourself in the position of a fighter, who may have been struggling & down a couple of times, when they may start to feel OK & want to step in having landed their best punch; then get tagged. It had echoes of the 1st Ruiz fight. 

With hindsight, time appeared to be on Joshua’s side & signs were starting to appear it may have been about to start swinging in his favour, going into later rounds.

However, he did jump in & was beaten to the punch, as he had been all night that far.

Sharpness, timing & age all favouring Dubois, in a thoroughly deserved victory.

He wouldn’t go nowhere near Fury & Wilder, when they were the best two in the division, and we know why now. Because he’s not good enough. The blokes a fraud.

Fury has ducked Joshua, amongst others.

Give up you Silly Billy. Why would he duck AJ but get in with Wilder ?. Joshua wouldn’t go near Wilder & Fury dodged them both.

Ah, a Fury fan then. You should have just said that from the start.

Can’t stand him pal, he believes in fairytales, anybody who thinks a made up bloke fed 5000 with a tin of tuna and a bead roll is real, then constantly pushes them beliefs on to others, is an absolute arsehole.

Many commentators have said AJ has a glass jaw. That knockout was a prime example. Dubois is a strong lad but seems to have the heart of a pea both loses i've seen he's basically chucked it when under pressure. I'm glad Dubois won as it's been AJ all over the media all week and arseholes like Agbonlahor thinking calling Dubois Doo Bra was hillarious. AJ always was a PR product trying to make out he's a fun good guy but I reckon behind the facade he's a bit of a c**t.

Not just a cünt, a racist cùnt .

Anthony Joshua's problem is that he's not particularly good at taking a punch to the face, coupled with the fact that he's not particularly good at avoiding punches to the face.
