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 favorite 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 twice 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 reach 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.

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 before he grabbed the microphone.

Joshua said: 'I don't care about being 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'.
