Dubois stops Wardley in heavyweight title classic

Daniel Dubois became a two-time heavyweight world champion on Saturday in Manchester, England, stopping Fabio Wardley in Round 11 of a bruising contest. Dubois (23-3, 22 KOs) overcame an early knockdown in the opening seconds and another in Round 3 to turn the fight around against the previously favoured Wardley.
