his YouTube channel<\/a>, Froch spoke with intrigue ahead of the fight, questioning both Dubois\u2019 mentality and Wardley\u2019s inexperience against the division\u2019s biggest punchers.<\/p>\n\u201cThis is a proper fight, this is a fight where I am like \u2018what is going to happen here?\u2019. You gave got Daniel Dubois, we know how good he is but when he is under the cosh and it\u2019s hard for him, it\u2019s almost like when the tough gets going, the going gets tough, but he looks for the exit signs.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cLosing to Oleksandr Usyk is no disgrace but he [Dubois] is a massive puncher. A big, hard hitter. Fabio Wardley has never really been in there [with a big puncher].<\/p>\n
\u201cYou have got Justis Huni, you have got Joseph Parker, you\u2019ve got Frazer Clarke, [David] Adeleye, he has fought him. None of them are really bangers, are they? None of them can really punch hard, for a heavyweight.\u201d<\/p>\n
Then, \u2018The Cobra\u2019 went on to predict that Dubois could \u2018cause some damage\u2019 if he is switched on for the bout, labelling him as the \u2018strong favourite\u2019 in the proposed scrap.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis might be the one where actually, he [Wardley] finds out what pro boxing is all about because Daniel Dubois, if he is firing on all cylinders and he fancies the job, he could end up really causing some damage and knocking out Fabio Wardley bad.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut, Fabio Wardley has knocked out most of his opponents, he has never been done himself. I want to say that it\u2019s a 50\/50 fight on paper but in reality, you have got to make Daniel Dubois the favourite, and quite a strong favourite as well.\u201d<\/p>\n
An announcement for the event is expected imminently, with Saturday, May 9, being the touted date for the assumed Co-op Live arena clash<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Manchester seems poised to host it\u2019s second all-British heavyweight world title contest as Fabio Wardley gears up for…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":423596,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[41],"tags":[2560,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-423595","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-boxing","tag-boxing","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/423595","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=423595"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/423595\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/423596"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=423595"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=423595"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=423595"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
