Daniel Dubois<\/a> and Fabio Wardley<\/a> will rematch for the WBO heavyweight title next month, and fan-favourite Derek Chisora has made a fresh prediction for the contest.<\/p>\n

Wardley and Dubois went toe-to-toe in Manchester back in May in a Fight of the Year candidate as Dubois bounced back from two early knockdowns to batter and eventually halt his fellow Briton and become a two-time world champion.<\/p>\n

Despite taking notable damage in the scrap, Wardley was quick to activate his rematch clause and thrust himself into a shot at becoming a two-time heavyweight ruler himself.<\/p>\n

Back in July, looking ahead to the rematch, Chisora admitted that he expects Dubois to get the job done sooner this time around<\/a> and warned Wardley that he must completely change his game if he is to trouble \u2018Triple D\u2019.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think that this fight, the rematch, will end earlier than before. I love Fabio, to come from white collar boxing to come in the game and become heavyweight champion [is amazing], but he didn\u2019t win it, to be honest \u2013 he got it passed down.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen he boxed a fighter who was on game, he lost. I love Fabio but I don\u2019t see him troubling Daniel right now, again.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe has to completely change something in his game to trouble Daniel. If he doesn\u2019t change anything, he is not going to trouble Daniel.\u201d<\/p>\n

Now, after their second fight was formally announced, Chisora told the Fight Your Corner Podcast<\/a>\u00a0that he predicts a similar outcome to the first affair.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t know why we are having a rematch, the fight will be the same. That nose is going to open up again.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dubois-Wardley II takes place on Saturday, October 17<\/a>, at the O2 Arena in London.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Daniel Dubois and Fabio Wardley will rematch for the WBO heavyweight title next month, and fan-favourite Derek Chisora…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":768003,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[41],"tags":[2560,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-768002","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\/768002","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=768002"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/768002\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/768003"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=768002"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=768002"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=768002"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
