Shane McGuigan showed off boxing IQ with exact Anthony Joshua KO prediction
Shane McGuigan showed off his boxing IQ by predicting how Anthony Joshua would be knocked out just moments before it happened.
Joshua was sensationally stopped by Daniel Dubois in the fifth round of their IBF World heavyweight title showdown at Wembley Stadium on Saturday night.
Over 96,000 fans wee in attendance to watch the drama unfold, while millions watched on from home on their TVs and listened in on radio.

Dubois - who McGuigan used to coach - produced the performance of his life, knocking Joshua down several times before the final blow arrived in the fifth.
McGuigan - who also coached Carl Frampton to world title wins in the super-bantamweight and featherweight divisions - knew the writing was on the wall for AJ.
The 35-year-old son of Barry McGuigan, speaking on BBC 5 Live's coverage of the fight, was listening in to Joshua's corner after the fourth round, where they asked their man to 'roll the dice' with an uppercut after a double jab.
McGuigan, looking perplexed, says: "I think that's dangerous advice there, to be honest. I mean, getting him (AJ) to bring it up after the double jab. Daniel throws that right hand, straight off that double jab.
"By bringing it up, he means an uppercut, he is going to walk himself straight onto a short right hand. If you ask me I'd just say 'keep your hands up, tight, get through these next two rounds, and then use your athleticism later on down the stretch."
Joshua appeared to rock Dubois in the fifth, but he took his corner's advice and 'rolled the dice' by searching for a big uppercut, only to get caught by a short right hook from Dubois which ended the contest.
Just as McGuigan predicted.
