And for the main event, this is a re-match between the two fighters. Dubois and Wardley battled each other in the ring this past May with Dubois winning the bout in the 11th round with a TKO. This is when Dubois became WBO heavyweight champion.
For the re-match this weekend, Dubois is the heavy favorite to retain the title. However, Wardley is a well-rounded boxer too, so it’s likely the fight will go the distance. Wardley is looking for some payback for losing the first matchup, so it could be extra motivation for an upset.
