Why I lost to Daniel Dubois – Anthony Joshua
Nigerian heavyweight champion, Anthony Joshua has explained his fifth-round knockout defeat on Saturday, which allowed Daniel Dubois to retain his IBF heavyweight title.
Dubois delivered an impressive display before 96,000 spectators at Wembley Stadium in London.
The 27-year-old knocked Joshua down four times before sealing the victory with a decisive right to the chin in the fifth round.
During his post-fight press conference, Joshua suggested that his loss was due to a few mistakes he made during the bout.
“I am a fighter for life, we will keep rolling the dice. If I am honest, I had a sharp opponent, but a lot of mistakes my end. As pissed as I am, this is the game,” he revealed to DAZN.
