Fabio Wardley is urging Daniel Dubois to engage in an intense battle from the start when they face off for the WBO heavyweight world title next month. Wardley, who will be defending his championship in Manchester, wants to turn the fight into a fierce exchange of blows right from the opening bell.
Dubois, known for his formidable punching power, is seeking to regain his status as a world champion after previously beating Anthony Joshua and subsequently losing the IBF title to Oleksandr Usyk. Wardley, who has a reputation for being a formidable finisher, having defeated notable opponents such as Justis Huni and Joseph Parker, intends to take the fight to Dubois aggressively. In an interview with Sky Sports News, Wardley stated that his team's strategy is to "get straight in there and get stuck in, get into his face and make it a fight, make it a firefight," with the goal of landing decisive blows and determining the outcome of the fight quickly.
