Daniel Dubois stopped Anthony Wardley by stoppage to retain his WBO heavyweight title in a shockingly quick finish at 23:45 BST on October 17. The bout lasted barely minutes, with Dubois landing a decisive blow that prompted a towel throw. Tyson Fury praised the win on Instagram, calling it the blueprint for Anthony Joshua's upcoming December 11 fight.
Richie Woodhall called it a case of 'don't blink,' noting Wardley never recovered from the first punch. Filip Hrgovic commented Wardley was still damaged from their previous encounter. Steve Bunce on BBC Radio 5 Live noted Dubois started faster and controlled the action.
The result leaves Wardley damaged and questions surrounding his durability, while Dubois solidifies his position as a major force in the heavyweight division.
