Dubois smashes through Wardley to win world title rematch in two rounds

Daniel Dubois defeated Fabio Wardley with savage speed and focused aggression to defend the WBO heavyweight world title at the O2 Arena in London; Dubois ended the fight in the second round; the British rivals were rematching after Dubois won an epic brawl in their first fight in May

Daniel Dubois smashed Fabio Wardley to defeat in the second round of their world championship rematch at London’s O2 Arena.

Dubois retained the WBO heavyweight title he won from Wardley in May in crushing style, picking up just where he left off in their first fight.

Dubois and Wardley were renewing hostilities only five months after a frenetic and ultimately brutal contest.

Then London's Dubois had needed to rise twice from early knockdowns to punch out a savage 11-round victory over Wardley, hurting the Ipswich fighter even though Wardley was stopped on his feet.

Wardley, determined to win back his world title as soon as he could, exercised the rematch clause in his contract and forced this second fight to take place.
