This was the second time in five months that Dubois has defeated Wardley but, after their fight of the year contender in May , he unleashed a shockingly one-sided shellacking.

Davison had been on the brink of throwing in the towel at the very end of the opening round but the bell sounded to end a disastrous first three minutes for Wardley. He was dropped heavily after just 17 seconds as Dubois landed a left cross followed by a pulverising right hand.
