Speaking after the bout, Dubois said: “Fabio is a great warrior, coming in for a second time, but it was my time and my era. I had my intentions, bad intentions, from the beginning.
“Our back was against the wall the first time, this time we just had to go out there and show that we mean business and that’s what we did tonight.”
Wardley said: “I’ve always thrown myself in with the best competitors out there, the toughest, the biggest, hardest, meanest guys around. There’s no shame in testing yourself against the best.
“Daniel’s a testament to coming up short and coming again, I’ll be looking to do the exact same thing. Boxing is a game of fine margins. It can be done and over in a round or two or it can go into a big old war like it was last time.”
