Daniel Dubois and Fabio Wardley collide once more this evening in a rematch of their heavyweight contest from May this year. The two British heavyweights clash at the O2 Arena, with Wardley looking for revenge after Dubois survived two knockdowns to dethrone the champion at the Co-Op Live Arena in Manchester last time out.
WBO title on the line
‘Dynamite’ claimed the WBO heavyweight title, which will be back on the line here as the pair top a star-studded bill in south-east London. Dubois’ mentality had been called into question last time out, but after an unideal opening where he was sent to the canvas inside the opening 10 seconds, he recovered magnificently to claim a second world title of his career.
Wardley, meanwhile, was courageous as he was stopped in the 11th, having dropped Dubois in the third round in an electric start. On paper, the Ipswich-born fighter is the underdog, but he is still dangerous, as his 20 wins, with 19 knockouts, suggests.
