WBO Heavyweight Showdown
Tonight’s Queensberry Promotions/DAZN highly anticipated Main Event rematch Heavyweight Showdown between WBO Heavyweight Champion Daniel Dubois (24-3, 23 Kos) and former WBO Heavyweight Champion Fabio Wardley (20-2-1 19 Kos) did not disappoint with the dominance that Dubois displayed at the O2 Arena in London.
From the first bell, these two warriors picked up the action like it was round 13 and went straight at it with the heavy bombs coming from both sides but it was Dubois who connected first this time around within the first 18 seconds of the round and brutally dropped Wardley with an overhand right forcing a standing 8 count.
Wardley ate that one but bounced back up and survived the opening round but looked shaky doing so. With Dubois entering the second round full of confidence, he proceeded to continue working his combinations surprisingly breaking Wardley down who was looking defenseless, absorbing a barrage of unanswered punches to the head cornered on the ropes, which then prompted Wardley’s corner to throw in the towel to save their fighter from further damages.
Truth be told, I anticipated this bout to being a heavier shoutout than the first time out but the destructive performance that Dubois brought this time around was very impressive. Dubois walked it like he talked it and closed the show with a “BANG”.
With this very convincing win under his belt, Dubois retained his WBO Heavyweight Championship Title and is now looking for the next mark- preferably a unification bout with IBF Champion Filip Hrgovic or WBC Champion Agit Kabayel.
Well done, Daniel.
