Daniel Dubois and Fabio Wardley will meet again this weekend, with boxing fans expecting another chaotic classic between the British heavyweights.
In May, Dubois climbed off the canvas twice – including in the first 20 seconds – to stop Wardley on his feet as the towel came in in round 11.
With that dramatic victory in Manchester, Dubois won the WBO title, which he will defend against Wardley in this weekend’s main event in London.
Wardley had never lost as a professional before his 11th-round defeat by Dubois, so has he learned the relevant lessons to exact revenge? Or will Dubois extend his second world-title reign and close in on a unification fight?
Here’s all you need to know.
When is the fight?
Dubois vs Wardley 2 will take place on Saturday 17 October at the O2 Arena in London. The main card is due to begin at 7pm BST (11am PT / 1pm CT / 2pm ET), with main-event ring walks at around 10.30pm BST (2.30pm PT / 4.30pm CT / 5.30pm ET).
