Daniel Dubois cemented his position as Britain's leading heavyweight, delivering a devastating second-round stoppage of Fabio Wardley to retain his WBO world title in London.
The 29-year-old champion floored Wardley with a straight right within the first 20 seconds of their highly anticipated rematch at the O2 Arena. Dubois maintained a relentless assault, overwhelming Wardley with a sustained attack in the second round, which prompted Wardley's corner to throw in the towel.
This dominant performance marks Dubois's second successive stoppage victory over Wardley. His professional record now stands at 24 wins, with 23 by knockout, and three defeats. Wardley, 31, has now suffered the second defeat of his 23-fight professional career.
