Daniel Dubois made quick work of Fabio Wardley on Saturday night at London’s O2 Arena. The defending WBO heavyweight champion needed just two rounds to dispatch Wardley in a frantic rematch that picked up right from where they left off in May.Dubois steamrolled Wardley to retain his WBO heavyweight titleGettyDubois sent Wardley tumbling to the canvas for the first time in his career in the opening stanza, and he hurt his rival badly again in the second as the Ipswich man’s trainer Ben Davison made the compassionate call to throw in the towel.Wardley had been trapped in the corner under heavy artillery when the fight was waved off two minutes and twenty-one seconds into the frame. Dubois and Wardley have their say “Shout out to everybody, shoutout to my dad, my whole team,” said the victorious Dubois, who improves to 24-3.“Fabio is a great warrior, but it was my time, my era.“I had bad intentions from the beginning.“Our back was against the wall the first time. We just had to go out there and show we meant business tonight.”Humble as ever in defeat, Wardley added: “It’s never fun to lose. “It is what it is, I’ve always thrown myself in with the biggest, toughest, meanest guys around; there’s no shame in testing yourself against the best. “Daniel is a testament to coming again, and I’ll come again.“You come with a game plan, try to adjust things, and it didn’t work tonight. It’s a credit to Daniel of how well he prepared.”Wardley was never given a chance to get going by the brilliant DuboisGettyStory of the fightIt was bombs away from the opening bell as Dubois decked Wardley inside the first 30 seconds with the first right hand he threw.Wardley went down on one knee and popped back up again as referee Steve Gray stepped in and administered the count.Dubois, smelling blood in the water, had to be wrestled away from Wardley as he continued to pour on the pressure after knocking his man down.
