Frank Warren has confirmed that a rematch clause exists for Fabio Wardley following his defeat to Daniel Dubois, though the promoter made clear that any second meeting between the heavyweight rivals remains a distant prospect.<\/p>\n

Warren, who represents both fighters, stressed the importance of allowing the pair adequate recovery time after their brutal encounter.<\/p>\n

The veteran promoter indicated that neither boxer should expect to return to action in the near future, with an extended period away from the ring considered essential.<\/p>\n

Speaking to talkSport after the bout, Warren said: “There is a rematch clause, but I don’t think that’ll be happening anytime soon. <\/p>\n

“They’re going to have to be out of the ring for a little while yet. Probably six months at least.”<\/p>\n

The promoter was effusive in his assessment of what the two heavyweights had produced, describing the event in glowing terms.<\/p>\n

“It was just amazing. It was one of the best shows I’ve ever put on,” Warren added, reflecting on a contest that many observers have already hailed as one of British boxing’s finest encounters.<\/p>\n
