Wardley looked to be well on his way to successfully defending his heavyweight world title in May when he dropped Dubois twice in the opening three rounds. But Dubois roared back and dominated the rest of the fight before it was mercifully stopped in the penultimate session.

Daniel Dubois said: "He's not good enough to adapt, so he'll do the same thing as he did in the first fight. I know what I'm going to do to him will be a lot worse than the first fight. I can't wait to get in there. They're good fighters but I'm getting ready to surpass them and go where no man has been before. Collect the belts and go undisputed, like the greats such as Lennox Lewis and Mike Tyson have done. I've going to leave a similar legacy and and leave my mark. But let's get Saturday out of the way first."
Fabio Wardley said: "I'm the challenger and chaser and honestly for me it all just feels like, 'this is it, this is the nice bit that I enjoyed for the past however many years on my rise and on my way up'. It feels great. A relaxed fighter is comfortable and confident and I think that's always beneficial, so this improves my chances."
