Daniel Dubois saw 'mental scars' in Fabio Wardley, who blames poor preparation for brutal rematch loss

Heavyweight fighter Daniel Dubois put on a dominating performance, stopping opponent Fabio Wardley in just two rounds to retain his WBO heavyweight championship. Back in May, Dubois had to recover twice before finishing Wardley, but in the rematch at London's O2 Arena, victory came swiftly. Dubois overwhelmed Wardley, landing punches in only 15% of their exchanges.

The former champion attributed Wardley's poor performance to lack of preparation. While some believed Wardley should retire after the loss, Dubois and Wardley both see it as a challenge to come back stronger. Dubois expressed his refusal to give up, stating that he will "try again and try harder."
