Amari Jones accomplished much more than just defeating a former world champion on Friday night. The undefeated middleweight could finally declare himself one of Golden Boy’s true breakout fighters.
Headlining his first DAZN main event in front of his hometown crowd in San Jose, Jones demolished former IBF middleweight champion Vincenzo Gualtieri in just three rounds and left no doubt as to who was in control of the fight.
The 23-year-old looked composed from the opening bell, and his shot broke Gualtieri’s rhythm before gradually turning the German into heavier shots.
Once Jones found the target flawlessly, the finish came quickly.
A crushing right hand to the temple knocked Gualtieri down badly, before Jones landed a brutal uppercut moments later that forced referee Thomas Taylor to stop the fight at 2:29 of the third round.

“I proved that my victory over veteran Luis Arias was no fluke by coming out here and knocking out an experienced former world champion.”

From there, Jones began stringing together combinations with increasing confidence as Gualtieri tried to tardy him down.
“A star emerged tonight and I turned my attention to the middleweight division.”

“It was a compact knockdown in the blink of an eye, but I had to recover and adapt. We came back and won the fight.”

Daniel Dubois survives early disaster to stop Fabio Wardley – rematch clause revealed
Published

May 10, 2026
Daniel Dubois survived two knockdowns and a brutal early gunfight to stop Fabio Wardley in the eleventh round of the heavyweight war in Manchester.
The WBO heavyweight title clash at Co-op Live appeared to be slipping away from Dubois in the opening rounds as Wardley dropped the former world champion twice and threatened to overwhelm him with sheer aggression.
Instead, Dubois weathered the storm, gradually broke down Wardley and ultimately forced a dramatic stoppage after eleven brutal rounds.
Wardley entered the fight, defeating Dubois with the first punch of the fight, before both men traded powerful shots in a disordered opening session. Dubois looked vulnerable again in the third quarter when he fell to another injured knee during another violent exchange.
Despite the early setbacks, Dubois slowly began to regain control as Wardley’s effectiveness declined and the penalty began to accumulate.
The return of Daniel Dubois
By the fourth, the momentum was starting to come back. Dubois hurt Wardley with solid shots and forced perceptible reactions from the previously undefeated challenger.
In the fifth and sixth rounds, Dubois took complete control.
Wardley struggled to establish his jab and control the pace as Dubois marched forward, applying measured pressure and harder punches. In the middle rounds, Wardley looked exhausted and severely damaged, particularly around his nose and mouth.
Dubois sensed the fight was changing.
The seventh and eighth rounds became a test of survival for Wardley, who somehow continued to fight despite appearing close to being stopped several times.
What made the fight so dramatic was that Wardley never stopped trying to score the equalizer. Even after a few rounds, he was punching backwards when Dubois gave him space.
The danger continued into the ninth quarter when Dubois nearly shut down the event in another round of wild rallies, with full live coverage of the Wardley vs. Dubois results documenting the swinging dynamics of the card.
Fabio Wardley
Heading into the championship rounds, both heavyweights looked exhausted.
Wardley was visibly weakening, while Dubois himself seemed exhausted after so much effort. The difference, however, was that Dubois still had enough power to finish the case.
Dubois landed two immaculate punches in the eleventh, ending the fight and preventing Wardley from continuing after one of the most dramatic heavyweight battles seen in Britain this year.
Frank Warren later revealed that there was a rematch clause, leaving the door open for Wardley to seek revenge after the first defeat of his professional career.
The result gives Dubois another major heavyweight victory after recovering from an early crash, while Wardley pushed the former champion to the limit in a fight that could easily have resulted in a second chapter.
The WBN Wardley vs Dubois scorecard and round-by-round coverage followed as Dubois completely turned the fight around after early knockdowns.
