  • Dubois, 28, survived knockdowns after 10 seconds and in round three before the referee halted the Manchester bout in the 11th.

  • The win gives Dubois a 23rd professional victory and a second world title, while Wardley suffered the first defeat of his 22-fight career and promoter Frank Warren said a rematch clause exists.
