Shocking Twist: Was Anthony Joshua Cheated in Last Night’s Epic Showdown Against Daniel Dubois?**
_Says Boxing Legend Mike Tyson_
In what is now being called one of the most controversial nights in boxing history, whispers of foul play are swirling after Anthony Joshua’s intense victory over Daniel Dubois. The fight, billed as a clash of titans, ended in dramatic fashion, but not without controversy—and boxing legend Mike Tyson is weighing in on the debate.
The Fight Breakdown
The match was a high-octane spectacle, with both Joshua and Dubois showcasing their raw power and technical skill. Dubois came out aggressive, landing heavy shots early, while Joshua, known for his composure, weathered the storm and began to dominate as the fight progressed. As the rounds went on, it became clear that this wasn’t going to be an easy win for either fighter.
However, as the final bell rang, it was Joshua who was declared the victor by unanimous decision. That’s when the murmurs began.
Dubois’ Camp Cries Foul
Almost immediately after the decision was announced, Dubois’ camp voiced their outrage, claiming that key moments in the fight were marred by biased refereeing and questionable officiating. In particular, Dubois’ corner cited what they believe were low blows from Joshua that went unnoticed, along with suspiciously timed stoppages that favored Joshua when Dubois appeared to be gaining momentum.
But the biggest bombshell came when boxing legend Mike Tyson himself weighed in, hinting that the fight may have been “tampered with.”
Mike Tyson’s Bold Claim
Tyson, who was ringside for the fight, took to social media shortly after the match to voice his concerns. “I’ve seen a lot of fights, but something wasn’t right tonight. Dubois fought his heart out, and it looked like the cards were stacked against him. Joshua’s a great fighter, no doubt, but did everything seem fair? I’m not so sure,” Tyson stated.
These comments set off a firestorm in the boxing community, with fans and pundits alike debating whether the legendary fighter had a point. Tyson’s influence carries significant weight, and his claim has prompted several high-profile figures in the sport to call for an investigation into the officiating.
Joshua Responds
Amidst the growing controversy, Anthony Joshua has remained composed, dismissing the allegations as nothing more than sour grapes. In a post-fight interview, Joshua said, “I fought a clean fight. Dubois gave me everything he had, but I was the better man tonight. People can say whatever they want, but in the ring, it’s about what happens between the fighters. There was no foul play, just a hard-fought victory.”
The Boxing World Reacts
The reaction from the boxing world has been split. Some are rallying behind Tyson’s claims, urging the sport’s governing bodies to investigate potential corruption or unfair refereeing. Others believe that Tyson, while respected, may have been reacting emotionally to a close fight, where both fighters were highly skilled but only one could walk away the winner.
Veteran promoter Eddie Hearn, who represents Joshua, was quick to shut down the rumors. “These allegations are ridiculous. Joshua won fair and square. If there were any issues, Dubois’ team should have raised them during the fight, not after the decision was made.”
What’s Next?
With such a high-profile accusation coming from a legend like Mike Tyson, it’s likely that this issue won’t go away quietly. The possibility of an investigation or even a rematch could be on the horizon, especially if public pressure continues to mount.
For now, Joshua holds the victory, but the shadow of doubt cast by Tyson’s comments will loom over this match for some time. Could there have been foul play? Or was it just the heat of the moment in an epic clash of heavyweights?
Only time—and perhaps an official inquiry—will tell.
