In a one-sided bout, Daniel Dubois retained his WBO heavyweight title with a second-round knockout of British fighter Fabio Wardley at London's O2 Arena. The 29-year-old champion floored Wardley within 17 seconds of the opening bell, and despite the challenger beating the count and a stoppage possibility at the end of the first round, Dubois continued the onslaught in the second round.
The referee, Steve Gray, intervened and stopped the fight. Dubois, known for his aggressive style, expressed his satisfaction with the victory, stating that it was his time and era. Wardley, despite his courage, looked diminished after the fight. Dubois had previously defeated Wardley in a grueling 11-round fight in Manchester last May.
The article then presents five potential opponents for Dubois: Croatian IBF titleholder Filip Hrgovic, WBC champion Agit Kabayel, the upcoming bout between Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury winner, Cuban fighter Frank Sanchez, and Ukrainian contender Oleksandr Usyk, who has previously fought Dubois twice.
