British heavyweight champion Fabio Wardley produced one of the performances of the night on the undercard of Artur Beterbiev vs. Dmitry Bivol.
Wardley was going head-to-head with Frazer Clarke for a second time in Riyadh after the pair produced a thrilling draw in March.
Ahead of the opening bell, many were struggling to pick a winner and during the opening stages of round one, Clarke looked to gain control with his jab.

The art of surprise is what makes Wardley such a dangerous operator and out of nowhere his right hand rocked Clarke who was knocked down by the Ipswich fighter in their first encounter.
Clarke struggled to recover after this setback with another clubbing Wardley right hand landing on the Olympian who was sent to the canvas and deemed unable to continue by the referee.
Following this explosive performance, boxing fans have come out in force on social media to express their disbelief and shock about what transpired.
"That was brutal," one fan wrote.
A second fan pointed out the damage to Clarke's jaw, "Holy heck. His jaw. Wardley was vicious. Wow!"
"Incredible punch @FabioWardley," another wrote.
A fourth fan meanwhile summed the fight up in one word, "Smash."
After dispatching Clarke with ease, Wardley will be looking to challenge those on the brink of a world title shot in his next outing.
