	After the brutal 70-round draw with American bantamweight titleholder Cal McCarthy, Tom O'Rourke and Dixon decided to go after the undisputed title. England, Austrailia, and America held three current bantamweight champions. Nunc Wallace, regarded by the British as "invincible" was the Bantamweight champion of England. So after an exhibition, O'Rourke and Dixon traveled to England in order to get fight with their champion. The bout was scheduled to take place in the Pelican Club, June 27. The fight began with Wallace pressing forward and experimenting to the body. Dixon fought cautiously until the fourth when he agressively approached Wallace and took a right uppercut that sent him down. Dixon arrose quickly and downed Wallace with a combination. Wallace was on the verge of being labeled a knockout victim until the bell sounded to his delight. From that point until the finish Dixon carried the fight to Wallace and vicous, toe-to-toe exchanges took place from pillar to post. Soon enough, battle wounds began to show up on Wallace after a right from the American. Dixon continued to force the fight and by the 7th he was outhustling Wallace with his work rate and tremendous speed. Wallace's accuracy also decreased as he tired from the tremendous hailstorm Dixon was providing. Similar to McCarthy who Dixon fought in his most previous ring battle, the frustrated Wallace resorted to wrestling tactics. Meanwhile, Dixon would score heavily when their arms were free and Wallace's nose and mouth were showing signs of the punishment. Dixon was desperately trying to end the affair as Wallace definitely didn't prove to have much left with his groggy appearence. Wallace, however, summoned up the gumption to trade with Dixon in the 13th and 14th and risk a knockout defeat. It proved to be Wallace's last hurrah as Dixon pounded Wallace unmercifully to the head and to the body. In the 18th, it was obvious that the fight would be stopped soon. Dixon pounded a vicous barrage off to the body until Wallace raised his hand and said "stop, I'll give in". And that was that. Dixon had gained the English bantamweight title and also took one step closer to becoming the undisputed bantamweight "world" champion.
