The fight began with some closely contested rounds in which both men had their moments.

Dubois appeared to hurt Joyce on occasion, but was often kept at bay by the more experienced man’s jab.

This ‘Juggernaut’ jab ultimately caused severe injury to Dubois and forced his left eye to swell shut by the halfway stage.

In round ten, it all got too much for the 23-year-old who took a knee and sat out the ten count.

Fury reacted immediately on social media.

He posted an Instagram story which said: “Massive congratulations to my bro Joe Joyce.

“Brilliant performance, great boxing display.

“Boxing is a heart sport.”

The jab was the key to victory

Dubois said post-fight: “You know, what can I say?

“He caught me with a good jab, the jab was pretty accurate.

“I couldn’t see out of the eye, it just happens man, I can’t explain it.

“He pinged it, I couldn’t see out of it. I was trying my best, it happens.”

Joyce added: “I was glad it was over!”
