Wardley vs Dubois

Fabio Wardley and Daniel Dubois built a genuine rivalry in their first fight, and this rematch carries the same weight of expectation. Fans can expect raw power, grit and a real edge from the opening bell.

Round one between these two was no easy contest, stretching the full eleven rounds before a result was found. Wardley floored Dubois twice inside the opening rounds, yet Dubois fought his way back to end the contest in round eleven and lift the WBO heavyweight title.

The rematch is confirmed for Saturday 17 October 2026, with The O2 in London set to host this heavyweight showdown. Promoter Frank Warren has built the card around Dubois defending his WBO heavyweight title, with doors currently scheduled to open at 4pm.

This time Dubois walks in as the WBO heavyweight champion, with the belt he took from Wardley now his to defend. Wardley returns with one goal in mind: winning that title back and settling the score. Both men already know what the other can do under pressure, which only raises the stakes further.

Wardley heads into the rematch looking to fix what went wrong last time out. Dubois, on the other hand, wants to show that his late turnaround in the first fight was no accident. Both carry genuine one-punch power, so fireworks are guaranteed whenever these two share a ring.
