How Daniel Dubois destroyed Anthony Joshua, what that means and what comes next

The shockwaves of Daniel Dubois' fifth-round knockout of Anthony Joshua continue to reverberate on both sides of the pond, so there's no better time for the debut episode of the United Boxing Podcast, featuring British boxing commentator Darren Rees and American fight writer David Greisman.

Darren and David go deep on what happened at Wembley Stadium between Dubois and Joshua, whether Joshua should retire, the possibility of a rematch, who each heavyweight could face next, and whether this means we will never get fights involving Joshua against Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder.

We also talk about Joshua Buatsi vs. Willy Hutchinson, Anthony Cacace vs. Josh Warrington, Hamzah Sheeraz, Chris Eubank Jr., Conor Benn, Josh Padley's upset win over Mark Chamberlain, the dust-up between Eddie Hearn of Matchroom Boxing and Devin Haney, and the stories about Turki Alalshikh and Riyadh Season banning certain journalists from being able to cover Dubois vs. Joshua.

In addition, this episode discusses whether Jaime Munguia is on a path to becoming a Mexican boxing icon, even if he never otherwise reaches the heights that Canelo Alvarez has; the recently announced fight card featuring Jaron Ennis-Karen Chukhadzhian 2 and Jesse "Bam" Rodriguez vs. Pedro Guevara; and the potential entry into boxing of UFC honcho Dana White.

We preview this week's major boxing matches, including three title fights — Alycia Baumgardner vs. Delfine Persoon, Sandy Ryan vs. Mikaela Mayer, and Rhiannon Dixon vs. Terri Harper — and the strange scenario that is Charlie Edwards taking on Thomas Essomba, who is managed by Edwards' brother, former flyweight titleholder Sunny Edwards. 

All of that, plus our Fighters of the Week, on the first-ever episode of the United Boxing Podcast.

This week notwithstanding, United Boxing Podcast will come out every Tuesday. Follow Darren @DarrenRees_, David @FightingWords2, and the show itself on X at @UnitedBoxingPod.
