Quick Summary

Daniel Dubois and Fabio Wardley will face each other again for the WBO heavyweight title on Saturday at the O2 Arena in London, five months after their first bout ended with Dubois retaining his title via a technical knockout in May. In the initial fight, Wardley briefly knocked down Dubois early but was later stopped due to injuries sustained from heavy punches, resulting in swelling and bleeding around his eyes. This rematch comes as Wardley exercised a clause for a second chance at the title after suffering his first professional loss.
