Joshua was knocked out by Dubois in front of 96,000 at Wembley Stadium
Social media users were quick to give Joshua the meme treatment
Some linked Joshua’s knockout to Olympic breakdancer Raygun’s dance moves
Social media has had a field day with Anthony Joshua’s brutal knockout loss to Daniel Dubois in front of 96,000 fans at Wembley Stadium.
Joshua, considered the favourite going into the fight, was saved by the bell in the first round after Dubois dropped him with a monstrous right hook.
The 34-year-old never quite regained his composure and was knocked down two more times in the ensuing rounds.
Dubois landed the picture perfect shot in the fifth when he walked Joshua onto a right hand that shut his lights out.
Joshua did his best to beat the count but failed to do so, forcing the referee to wave off the contest.

In his efforts to get to his feet, Joshua stumbled and fell back to the ground.
Unfortunately for Joshua, social media users were ruthless and likened his unsuccessful attempts to stand up to the dance moves of Australian Olympic breakdancer Raygun.
Another drew comparisons to Joshua’s tumble to Tottenham defender Micky van de Ven when he was twisted and turned by Newcastle’s Alexander Isak last season.

Although Joshua admitted he wanted to ‘kick off’ in the ring after the fight, he praised Dubois and declared he’d be back.
‘Credit to him and his team’ Joshua said.
‘We rolled the dice of success, but we came up short.
‘You know I’m ready to kick off in the ring, but I’m going to keep my cool, keep very professional and give respect to my opponent.
‘I’m always saying to myself I’m a fighter for life… We keep rolling the dice.
‘I had a sharp opponent, a fast opponent and a lot of mistakes from my end, but that’s the game.’
Joshua evidently wanted to avoid a similar scene to the post-fight interview he gave after he was beaten by Oleksandr Usyk for a second time in August 2022.

Joshua then hopped on the microphone to deliver a bizarre post-fight interview
The two-time heavyweight world champion stormed out of the ring after dropping a split decision to Usyk and tossed some of the Ukrainian’s belts out of the ring before he grabbed the microphone.
Joshua said: ‘I don’t care about strong, I am skilled, skills win boxing, you’re not strong, how did you beat me? How? I had character and determination.’
He later directed the crowd to applaud and cheer for Usyk as well as calling Russia’s invasion of Ukraine ‘not nice’.
