Why Anthony Joshua Was Knocked-Out In Fifth Round - Tyson Fury

World Heavyweight Boxing Champion and British boxer, Tyson Fury, has disclosed why Nigerian-British boxer, Anthony Joshua, did not make it past the fifth round in Saturday’s match.​


Naija News reported that Anthony Joshua was knocked out by Daniel Dubois, during the International Boxing Federation (IBF) heavyweight match on Saturday.

The 34-year-old Joshua, has, however, ruled out quitting from boxing after his fourth professional defeat.

However, speaking to journalists after the Wembley match, Fury advised fans not to be harsh on Joshua. He noted that Dubois was younger.

Fury explained that despite being ruled out by many, Joshua put up a strong fight during the match.

He did a very good job and fair play to young Dan. Everybody wrote him off, you know. Coming here he was the world champion and everybody treated him like he was a bum and he showed what he is made of and it’s very good for him, fantastic, fair play.

“It’s heavyweight boxing, it happens, you get knocked spark out, it could’ve been me, in the heavyweight division that is what happens, one punch from being smashed, knocked out,”
the British boxer said.

Speaking on what led to the loss, Fury continued, ‘I think what went wrong, for Joshua, is what always goes wrong in heavyweight boxing, a good right-hander on the end of the chin, and that was it.
