Wardley, Dubois WBO Heavyweight Rematch Scheduled at O2 Arena

Fabio Wardley and Daniel Dubois are scheduled to fight their rematch on Saturday at London’s O2 Arena. Dubois is defending the WBO heavyweight belt for the first time in the upcoming rematch. Wardley declared his confidence in finishing the fight. “But there’s no way this time. Once I sniff blood he’s gone. He’s getting out of there,” Wardley said. Fabio Wardley predicted that the rematch against Daniel Dubois will not go the distance and will likely end quickly. “Look, I think the one thing all of us on this top table can agree on, one, it’s not going the distance, and two, it’s probably over pretty quickly,” Wardley said.

Wardley claimed he will make adjustments and deliver a more clinical performance in the rematch. “Adjustments will be made, a more clinical performance will be done, and I will capitalize on the moments I had early on the fight the first time around,” Wardley said. Wardley stated that he let Dubois off the hook too easily after a knockdown in the third round of their previous fight.

Wardley dropped Dubois twice in their fight in May. The two shared 11 rounds in their fight earlier in the year before referee Howard Foster stopped the contest in the 11th round, awarding the title to Dubois.

Wardley inherited the WBO heavyweight title from Oleksandr Usyk before his first fight against Dubois. In the build-up to that bout, Dubois had compared Wardley’s punching power to that of a baby. Wardley stated at the press conference that he feels great despite the short turnaround time.
