Dubois dropped Wardley just 17 seconds into the opening bell with a massive straight right.
Wardley managed to survive a relentless pounding on the ropes to make it out of the first round,
but the onslaught continued immediately in the second.
Seeing their fighter taking unanswered, heavy damage,
Wardley's corner threw in the towel at 2 minutes and 21 seconds of Round 2,
forcing referee Steve Gray to wave off the contest.
While it was a shockingly one-sided "shellacking" compared to their grueling 11-round first bout, any concrete plans for retirement remain unconfirmed:
• The retirement chatter: Prior to the fight, boxing veteran Derek Chisora publicly predicted this would be Wardley's final bout, claiming he didn't want to box anymore.
• Wardley's response: Wardley strongly dismissed those retirement claims during fight week, stating he "doesn't mind" the outside opinions and expects to bounce back.
• Future outlook: Because Wardley reportedly holds a rematch clause in his contract, there is already initial speculation regarding a trilogy fight,
though he will undoubtedly need a significant medical suspension and rest period after absorbing such a severe stoppage.
