‘Revenge’ on offer in blockbuster fight of the year rematch – Dubois v Wardley 2 Ultimate Guide

Five months after their epic, dramatic first fight, Daniel Dubois and Fabio Wardley step into the ring again in London, with the former defending the WBO heavyweight world title he took that night.

In one of the fights of the year, Dubois recovered from being floored twice with an 11th-round TKO that he described immediately afterwards as a "war".

With both Brits weighing in at their heaviest ahead of the rematch, Part 2 at London's O2 Arena is set to be even more brutal.

And while Dubois is the deserved favourite, Wardley says the close run he gave the world champion in May wasn't for nothing.

"I draw confidence from the successes I had in the first fight - getting knockdowns in the first and third," he said ahead of Sunday's blockbuster.

He also made no secret of what he's out for in the ring: "Revenge."

The speedy nature of the rematch has taken many by surprise, with the image of a bloody and swollen Wardley sparking concerns over whether he has had time to recover from the punishment.
