Heavyweights Fabio Wardley and Daniel Dubois meet in a huge, all-British title fight
This weekend, Fabio Wardley and Daniel Dubois will clash in the kind of fight that always entices boxing fans: an all-British heavyweight title bout .
Wardley enters the main-event showdown with an unbeaten record, having bailed himself out in his last two fights; against Justis Huni then Joseph Parker , the Ipswich boxer was down on the scorecards when he secured late knockouts.
The October win over Parker saw Wardley, 31, win the interim WBO title, which was later upgraded when Oleksandr Usyk vacated the regular belt .
And Wardley may be able to edge closer to a fight with Usyk if he can overcome Dubois, 28.
Last time out, in July, Dubois suffered his second stoppage loss to Usyk , dropping the IBF title to the Ukrainian in the process.
But Dubois remains a dangerous opponent for anyone in the division , and it feels like a KO is guaranteed when he faces Wardley.
Wardley vs Dubois will take place on Saturday 9 May at the Co-op Live in Manchester.
The main card will begin at 6pm BST (10am PT / 12pm CT / 1pm ET), with main-event ring walks following at around 11pm BST (3pm PT / 5pm CT / 6pm ET).
The action will stream live on DAZN pay-per-view at a cost of £24.99.
You do not need a DAZN subscription to purchase the event, but plans are available here and start at £15.99 per month .
Betting sites give a slight edge to the champion with Wardley odds-on for the win over Dubois, who is around the even-money mark with most bookies.
