Dubois has successfully defended his title with a huge victory over Joshua.
Speaking on BBC Radio 5 Live, former world champion George Groves said: “He did hurt Dubois, his legs stiffened and Joshua is a fantastic finisher. He goes for the right uppercut and that is such a risky shot to throw. He's a fraction too slow and Dubois lands first.”

"It's been a long journey, I'm grateful to be in this position.
"I'm a gladiator, I'm a warrior to the bitter end. I want to reach the top level of this game and reach my full potential.
"I've been on a rollercoaster ride. This is my time, this is my redemption story, and I'm not going to stop until I reach my full potential."
