Frank Warren shares Dubois vs Wardley re-match | Boxing News
Promoter Frank Warren has confirmed a rematch clause exists in the contract following one of the most ferocious fights in current British boxing historical past between Daniel Dubois and Fabio Wardley. Dubois twice hauled himself off the canvas to halt Wardley, who loved a blistering start – flooring Dubois after merely 10 seconds and again in the third spherical.
However, between those knockdowns, Dubois established his jab and asserted his dominance. From the fourth spherical onwards, he seized control, even though many of his heaviest blows initially failed to bother Wardley’s chin. By the ninth, Wardley’s proper eye was almost closed shut as he endured relentless punishment, and Dubois finally ended proceedings in the eleventh to reclaim the world title.
Wardley was making the maiden defence of the heavyweight belt he inherited when Oleksandr Usyk relinquished the title reasonably than face the Ipswich-born fighter. Dubois, meanwhile, was competing for the first time since his second loss to Usyk last summer time as he pursued the belt for a second time.
For some viewers, it proved a troublesome watch with many believing it might have been halted earlier; for others, the bout has already been hailed as one of the best heavyweight fights ever. Afterwards, Warren confirmed there may be a strong chance Dubois and Wardley will meet in the ring again.
“These two guys showed such heart and chins,” he told DAZN. “It was an amazing fight that had everything. There’s a rematch clause in the contract.
“Let’s let the mud settle in the heavyweight division then we’ll see [about what comes next]. He’s [Dubois] back and Fabio will not be going away either. He’s a true gutsy man.”
Speaking in the aftermath, Dubois said: “It was a battle. Thank you Fabio for that. I do know I’ve acquired coronary heart. I’m a warrior in there. I had to pull it out of the bag, what a great combat and a battle.
“He’s a durable guy, he’s a great warrior. It was an honour to be in the ring with him.”
