Why Wardley v Dubois Is a Huge Night for British Boxing?

Fabio Wardley’s journey from white-collar boxer to undefeated world champion is one of British boxing’s most remarkable stories. After capturing the WBO Interim title with a statement victory over Joseph Parker, he was upgraded to full world champion and now makes his first defence on home soil.

Daniel Dubois, still just 28, is already a former world champion and seasoned headline attraction. Having shared the ring with Oleksandr Usyk and emphatically stopped Anthony Joshua at Wembley Stadium, Dubois arrives in Manchester determined to reclaim world championship status.

Previous all-British heavyweight world title fights have produced iconic nights, and Wardley v Dubois has every ingredient to join that legacy.
