But the violence only escalated as Dubois fired back with huge shots of his own.
Wardley, whose nose tends to bleed in most of his fights, was in trouble as this time both his eyesight and breathing were affected.

Blood could then be seen streaming down the Wardley’s face and splattering around ringside.

At one stage the ringside doctor was called in to inspect Wardley’s badly swollen eye and decide whether he was fit to continue.
