Daniel Dubois and Fabio Wardley meet again in London this weekend for the WBO heavyweight world title, in a rematch of their all-British classic from May. The first bout, held at Co-op Live in Manchester, was a Fight of the Year contender, with Dubois recovering from two knockdowns to stop Wardley in the 11th round.
Fight date and venue
The rematch takes place on Saturday October 17, 2026, at a sell-out O2 Arena in London. Dubois claimed the WBO belt that Wardley had held since being upgraded following Oleksandr Usyk's decision to relinquish it in November 2025.
Ring walks and how to watch
The main event ring walks are expected at approximately 10:30pm BST (5:30pm ET, 2:30pm PT). The main undercard starts from 7pm BST, with early bouts from around 4pm BST. The event is shown exclusively live on DAZN pay-per-view at a one-off cost of £24.99, and is included in the subscription for DAZN Ultimate Tier members.
Undercard highlights
The undercard features Louie O'Doherty defending his British and Commonwealth lightweight titles for the second time against Michael Gomez Jnr, plus bouts involving Bakhodir Jalolov, Tony Curtis, Leighton Birchall and Nelson Birchall.
Prediction and odds
Dubois is a firm favourite to repeat his victory, with bookmakers offering 1/4 for a Dubois win, 3/1 for Wardley, and 20/1 for a draw. The prediction is for Dubois to win by stoppage in the mid rounds. Odds are via UK betting sites and are subject to change.
