His plans of becoming a three-time world champion were scuppered by the exciting 27-year-old Dubois, who proved too strong on the night.

AJ lacked coordination in the ring, and his opponent capitalised right from the start, scoring a knockdown in Round One.

Joshua went down the canvas again in Round Two, but the bell saved him in the third round after receiving another hook.

Euro Sport reports that Dubois made sure the bout was over in the fifth round when the reigning champion landed a heavy right on the Nigerian descent.

No way for another comeback as AJ lost in front of over 96,000 fans inside the famous Wembley Stadium in London.
