Daniel Dubois has been called out by a powerful heavyweight following his destructive knockout win over Anthony Joshua.
Dubois caused a major upset last night by destroying Anthony Joshua in five rounds to retain the IBF World Heavyweight Title.
Despite fighting in front of 96,000 fans at Wembley Stadium, Dubois produced the best performance of his career to drop Joshua four times.
From the opening bell Dubois was on the front foot and landed a terrific overhand right near the end of the first round to floor AJ.
Joshua landed a big right hand of his own in the fifth and tried to follow up with a right uppercut.
However, Dubois countered with a short right that sent Joshua sprawling on the floor and unable to beat the count.
Zhilei Zhang wants to fight Daniel Dubois next following Joshua knockout
Zhilei Zhang has implied that he wants to face Dubois after watching the Brit dismantle Joshua.
In a post on social media, Zhang said: “Congrats, Daniel. Good win. I’m happy for you. But if…”
Zhang finishes the video by pointing to himself and the camera, suggesting a fight between him and Dubois next.
Dubois and Zhang are both signed to Queensbury and Frank Warren.
Would Zhilei Zhang be one of Daniel Dubois’ toughest opponents?
Zhang is coming off an impressive fifth-round stoppage victory over Deontay Wilder back in June.
‘Big Bang’ connected with a big right hook that sent Wilder to the canvas. Wilder got to his feet but the referee waved the contest off after deeming the American unable to continue.
Before facing Wilder, Zhang also registered two knockouts wins in a row against the formerly unbeaten Joe Joyce.
However, the Chinese heavyweight does have two decision losses on his record – one to Joseph Parker last March and another to Filip Hrgovic in 2022.
Therefore, after knocking out Joshua in emphatic fashion, Dubois would probably be a favorite going into a contest against Zhang.
