Dubois v Wardley 2 - heavyweight title fight predictions
Figures from the boxing world give their predictions for Saturday's heavyweight world title rematch between Fabio Wardley and Daniel Dubois.
Daniel Dubois and Fabio Wardley are set to renew their heavyweight title fight rivalry in London on Saturday at the O2 Arena. Dubois, the WBO champion, made a dramatic comeback from two knockdowns to stop Wardley in the 11th round of their May bout in Manchester. Wardley, the first fighter to lose his professional career, immediately activated his rematch clause.
Predictions vary, with some favoring Dubois' repeated victory early in the fight due to his confidence and dominance, while others believe Wardley's resilience, work rate, and ability to find a way through tough moments could make the difference. Many predict Dubois will win between rounds seven and ten, but the outcome remains uncertain, with the fight potentially ending in a quick stoppage or a thrilling finish.
