Can you watch Dubois v Wardley 2 for free? BBC coverage explained
Forget about Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua; this weekend sees two British heavyweights collide at the O2 Arena with the WBO world heavyweight title on the line.
The first meeting between Daniel Dubois and Fabio Wardley, five months ago, was everything you'd want from a big fight – and now they're back for more.
The pair tore strips off each other across a topsy-turvy 11-round bout, which saw both men spend time on the canvas, before Dubois took the win, and the belt, via TKO.
Wardley's response to a first career defeat was to trigger the rematch clause, much to the excitement of the British boxing public.
This isn't about the money. This is about two fierce competitors with a point to prove and an opportunity to establish themselves in a heavyweight division in flux.
