Daniel Dubois and Fabio Wardley return to the ring on Saturday, October 17, for a heavyweight world title rematch at The O2 Arena in London, England. Dubois will defend his WBO heavyweight championship against Wardley, five months after their first meeting ended with an 11th-round stoppage victory for Dubois. The rematch gives Wardley an opportunity to reclaim the title, while the champion aims to establish his superiority in one of the most anticipated heavyweight fights of the year.
The event will feature a full undercard before the main event, including Louie O’Doherty vs. Michael Gomez Jr. for the British and Commonwealth lightweight titles and Bakhodir Jalolov vs. Solomon Dacres in a heavyweight matchup. The event will stream on DAZN Pay-Per-View in the United States, with availability and pricing varying by country. Fans should check their local DAZN service for access details.
Because the fight takes place in London, viewers across the Americas will watch during the afternoon, while audiences in Europe will follow the action in the evening. Fans in Asia and Australia will need to tune in late at night or early Sunday morning. The preliminary card is scheduled to begin at 11 a.m. ET, followed by the main card at 2 p.m. ET.
