Fabio Wardley’s trainer says he chose not to throw in the towel during Wardley’s world heavyweight title fight against Daniel Dubois. According to reports, Wardley suffered a heavy defeat in the contest, but the decision not to stop the fight was made even as Dubois took control. Both outlets describe a late shift in the bout: in the 11th round, the fight is reported to be waved off after Dubois is seen getting up off the canvas twice. The trainer’s explanation centers on his reasoning for continuing despite the punishment Wardley had taken. The accounts agree that the fight does not end earlier, and that the stoppage occurs in round 11 following Dubois’s recovery and momentum. Details on the exact conversation or specific criteria used by the trainer are not provided in the available summaries, but the sources align on the key sequence: Wardley is hurt throughout, Dubois rises twice in the penultimate round, and officials then call for the fight to be stopped in round 11.
