Fabio Wardley's manager, Mike Ofo, has fired back at Daniel Dubois' advisor, Sam Jones, after Jones expressed doubts about Wardley's desire for a swift rematch. Wardley had triggered a clause for an immediate rematch following his loss to Dubois for the WBO heavyweight title in May. Jones questioned Wardley's decision, suggesting it was a 'free shot' at the title, but Ofo took offense to the comment, stating that if anyone had a 'free shot', it was Dubois coming off a loss to Usyk. Ofo confirmed that the rematch is set to go ahead and that Wardley did not suffer any serious injuries in the first fight.
The rivalry between the two fighters continues to heat up, with Jones confident that Dubois will emerge victorious and Ofo backing Wardley to regain his WBO belt with an emphatic win.
