Frank Warren expects to stage the rematch between Daniel Dubois<\/a> and Fabio Wardley<\/a> later this year, just so long as both men are ready and raring to go.<\/p>\n

Their first encounter took place in Manchester last month, resulting in an 11th-round finish as Dubois dethroned his rival and became a two-time heavyweight champion<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Prior to that, many doubted whether the 28-year-old, coming off a fifth-round stoppage defeat to Oleksandr Usyk<\/a>, would be able to halt his gritty opponent.<\/p>\n

Wardley, after all, was coming off a string of stoppages over Joseph Parker, Justis Huni and Frazer Clarke, boasting a clear advantage when it came to momentum.<\/p>\n

But Dubois, to his credit, managed to survive two knockdowns \u2013 one in the first 10 seconds of their contest; the other in round three \u2013 and ultimately claimed the WBO title.<\/p>\n

He did so by utilising a thudding jab and his superior footwork, while Wardley showed tremendous resolve just to remain in their brutal battle.<\/p>\n

Given the punishment he endured, many suspected that the 31-year-old would take a long break, perhaps not returning to action until 2027.<\/p>\n

Having activated his rematch clause in their contract<\/a>, though, Wardley is now set to face Dubois between September and November, according to an IFL TV<\/a> interview with Queensberry promoter Warren.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019ll go on in the autumn. They\u2019ve called for it and we\u2019re working on putting that together.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf [Wardley\u2019s] not fit enough then Daniel will defend [his title] against somebody else. But [the rematch] is the intention.\u201d<\/p>\n

During their first encounter, many felt Wardley could have been stopped from round seven onwards, yet referee Howard Foster ultimately halted proceedings in round 11.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Frank Warren expects to stage the rematch between Daniel Dubois and Fabio Wardley later this year, just so…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":615091,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[41],"tags":[2560,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-647231","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\/647231","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=647231"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/647231\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/615091"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=647231"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=647231"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=647231"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
