Russian WBA international middleweight champion Vadim Tukov, in a conversation with , suggested that the organizers of the fight did not expect the Briton to win. Daniel Dubois in a duel with a compatriot Antoine Joshua .
The IBF heavyweight world title fight took place in London on Saturday, with Dubois knocking out Joshua in the fifth round.
— To be honest, I didn’t expect such an outcome. I expected pressure from Dubois, but I thought Joshua would still cope with it. As far as I know, they have a rematch clause in their contract, so it’s too early to talk about Dubois’ future plans. He’s a big boy and a hard worker, with this victory he announced himself to the world. I’m sure that such a brilliant victory for Dubois was not part of the fight organizers’ plans.
Joshua knows how to come back, as he could have been written off after his defeat against Andy Ruiz. But Joshua did not lose heart and returned to the top positions.
I think that now Dubois’ promoters and managers will try to boost Daniel’s rematch with Alexander Usik. In their first fight, there was a controversial blow that knocked Usik down, Tukov told .
Dubois has recorded 22 wins and two losses in the professional ring, while Joshua has recorded 28 wins and four losses.
