Daniel Dubois and Fabio Wardley meet for heavyweight rematch in London

Daniel Dubois and Fabio Wardley will contest a WBO heavyweight title rematch on October 17 at London’s O2 Arena. The pair previously fought in May, a bout where Dubois secured an 11th-round stoppage victory following an early knockdown. Dubois, who holds a 23-3 professional record, claims he enters the second meeting with a more precise strategy and improved preparation. Wardley, meanwhile, identified his previous reliance on an early knockout as a tactical error and intends to adjust his approach for the upcoming bout. The 31-year-old challenger believes he can secure a knockout win of his own this time. The upcoming fight represents a pivotal opportunity for both boxers to establish themselves within the competitive heavyweight division.
