Fabio Wardley will look to silence his critics for good tonight by knocking out Daniel Dubois and establishing himself as a legitimate heavyweight world champion. Wardley was awarded his belt when Oleksandr Usyk vacated the title last year instead of facing the Ipswich fighter. Wardley chose to face Dubois over an easier opponent, despite the fellow Brit's devastating knockout power.

Live Updates
Good evening and welcome! Good evening everyone and welcome to our live coverage of Fabio Wardley's first defence of his WBO heavyweight title. The Suffolk fighter stunned fans with a thrilling knockout victory over Joseph Parker last time out to win the interim title. However, just days later, he was elevated to full champion after Oleksandr Usyk relinquished his gold belt.
Following the historic win over Parker, it does not get any easier for Wardley. Standing across from him in the ring this evening is none other than Daniel Dubois, who will be looking to become a world champion for the second time. 'Triple D' has not fought since his agonising knockout defeat to Usyk in front of over 90,000 fans at Wembley last July.
Wardley and Dubois are both known for their explosive knockout power, so it is safe to say this fight will not go the distance. Stay tuned and follow our coverage as we bring you round-by-round updates from every fight this evening.
