- Daniel Dubois defeated Fabio Wardley to claim the WBO heavyweight title in a chaotic and hard-fought boxing match in Manchester on Saturday night.
- Dubois was knocked down twice in the early rounds, specifically in the first and third, but demonstrated immense heart and resilience to recover and turn the tide of the fight.
- He gradually dismantled Wardley, whose face became a bloody mess due to a pre-existing nasal injury and whose right eye was almost shut from Dubois's sustained attack.
- The referee ultimately stopped the bout in the 11th round, awarding Dubois the victory and marking Wardley's first professional loss.
- The win silenced long-standing questions about Dubois's determination and marked his second world title, with a rematch clause reportedly included in the fight contract.
