Daniel Dubois retained his WBO heavyweight world title by stopping Fabio Wardley in the second round on Saturday 17 October at London’s O2 Arena, Beninwebtv reports. The British champion floored his compatriot with a right-hand punch after 17 seconds, before resuming his attack in the second round.

Wardley got back to his feet, but had already been in serious trouble near the ropes at the end of the first round. The bell allowed him to return to his corner, but he was unable to contain Dubois’s attacks afterwards, according to Beninwebtv.
