Daniel Dubois will defend his WBO world title in a rematch with Fabio Wardley on Saturday, October 17, at London's O2 Arena. The British rivals first clashed in May, when Wardley dropped Dubois twice in the opening three rounds but failed to capitalise. He was then badly beaten for eight rounds before the fight was stopped in the penultimate session.
Main event and British title fight
The main event is scheduled for 10.45pm. Wardley will be hoping to catch Dubois cold again in the opening rounds but this time must capitalise. If he cannot, Dubois will fancy his chances of stopping his British rival earlier than last time and properly kickstarting his second reign as world champion.
Before that, Louie O'Doherty puts his British lightweight title on the line for the second time at 10pm. The former English champion upgraded his silverware by stopping Regan Glackin last year before outpointing Ahmed Hatim five months ago. Michael Gomez Jr failed to become British champion at super-featherweight and will be hoping this is second time lucky.
Heavyweight prospects and Olympic champion
Adam Olaniyan takes on Dan Garber at 9.30pm. Olaniyan is quickly establishing himself as a heavyweight to watch and will be looking to showcase his skills on this big stage. Garber has fought the likes of Dave Allen, Leo Atang and Hughie Fury.
Double Olympic champion Bakhodir Jalolov continues his professional career against Solomon Dacres at 8.30pm. Jalolov has not ruled out going for a third gold medal in Los Angeles in 2026 but needs a big win tonight to prove he has world title credentials in the paid ranks. Dacres bounced back from his defeat by David Adeleye with a win over previously-unbeaten Vladyslav Sirenko last time out.
Early undercard action
Nelson Birchall looks to extend his unbeaten and winning record to 13 at 8pm. In his fourth fight of the year, he could be tested by Levi Giles, who took rising star Giorgio Visioli the distance in March. His brother Leighton Birchall walks to the ring for just the sixth time at 7.30pm against Mexican Alejandro Chazaro, who has won nine of 20.
Tony Curtis, who suffered a defeat on his pro debut four years ago at the age of 16, has racked up 14 wins since 2022 and steps up against Kerim Agius at 7pm. Manny Safara makes his professional debut at 6.30pm against journeyman Jake Pollard, who has lost 121 of his 123 outings and has another four fights lined up this year.
Zayn Ahmed, a 20-year-old from the Frank Warren production line, fights for the fourth time at 6pm against Kasey Bradnum, who has one win in 51 fights. Abdul-Fawaz Aborode looks for his third professional victory against Rashid Omar, while Aaron Noriega fights in the UK for the first time at 4.30pm and Issiah Hamilton-Allen seeks his fourth professional win at 4pm.
