This match took place at Wembley Arena and Dunne was victorious via submission.

ICYMI: @trentseven will be issuing an open challenge this Sunday in Manchester. Anyone (apart from fans) could accept; who would you be your 'double-pint cup from the @O2RitzManc' bet to appear? pic.twitter.com/AHQamAEnI8
