‘Dynamite’ got the job done despite touching the canvas twice in a brutal clash.
It was revealed just days afterwards that Wardley opted to activate his rematch clause, in an attempt to win his WBO title back.

Dubois vs Wardley – where could it land?
The event was a blockbuster sell-out with a record-breaking 18,000 fans flocking to the Co-op Live Arena in Manchester.

Many stadiums will likely be explored including the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London.
On which stadium it could land, he added: “We’ve done shows at Ipswich, Leeds, London and all over the country.
“We take the fights to the people, that is the name of the game of promotion.
