Leigh Wood took a wide unanimous decision victory over Josh Warrington in front of his hometown supporters at the Nottingham Arena.
The former world champions were rematching after previously fighting in 2023.
Wood secured a comeback knockout victory in their first fight and repeated the victory over his rival when they clashed on Saturday.
The Nottingham fighter didn't score another stoppage but dominated proceedings, winning a wide unanimous decision.
Wood won 117-111, 119-110 and 119-109. "I worked hard for this and my team worked hard," Wood said.
"I'm not going to make a decision tonight but if it is the last one, what a fight to go out on."
He was trafficked to the UK as a child, and forced to work, cooking and cleaning, in a household. Eventually he managed to escape and was taken into social care. But when he turned 18 he fell through the cracks in that system and has subsequently sought to make his way as a boxer.
After beating Ishmael Davis on the Nottingham undercard, Fawaz has become the British and Commonwealth super-welterweight champion.
He took a majority decision win over Davis after 12 rounds, level 114-114 on one card but winning 115-114 and 115-113 for the other two judges.
