Main card:

Daniel Dubois vs. Fabio Wardley 2- WBO heavyweight title

Louie O'Doherty vs. Michael Gomez Jr - British and Commonwealth lightweight title

Bakhodir Jalolov vs. Solomon Dacres - heavyweight

Tony Curtis vs. Kerim Agius - super-flyweight

We get to see this main event run back on Saturday night at the O2 Arena, after what was a fight of the year contender back in May 2026, which Dubois came out victories in with a 11th round stoppage to claim the WBO heavyweight title and in the process becoming a two-time heavyweight champion of the world. The first fight had almost everything you could wish for, Wardley putting Dubois down twice in the first and third round respectively, Dubois winning basically all the other rounds he wasn't knocked down in, putting a absolute beating on Wardley, who would not go down, nor quit even when for a number of the later rounds being barely able to stand, but still swinging away, trying to catch Dubois with that one shot that could turn the fight back in to his favour and derail Dubois, but it wasn't to be and Dubois finally was able to get the stoppage victory in the 11th round. Dubois had for a long time taking criticism in his career that when it is put on him, he doesn't have the heart to recover and will quit on himself, but he showed an abundance of heart in this fight to recover from the two early knockdowns, dominate the majority of the fight and finally force home a stoppage win to become heavyweight champion of the world again.  Now onto Wardley, I mean the chin, heart and will he showed was one of the bravest and hardest thing at the same time I have ever seen in a boxing ring.  There was numerous times where the fight could have been stopped(maybe should have been before it finally was) and no one would have had any complaints.

I can't wait to witness it all over again.

The fight main card begins from 7pm, Dubios vs. Wardley ringwalks are due to happen around 10.30pm and the card is being shown on DAZN PPV and DAZN Ultimate Tier.

Looking forward to this, I fear Wardley's nose may open up again very quickly though
