The first one was nice. Why not do it twice?

British-born heavyweight rivals Daniel Dubois and Fabio Wardley engaged in what Yahoo Sports labeled a "frontrunner" for 2026's Fight of the Year in May, so similar fireworks are expected when they get together again at London's O2 Arena.

Wardley entered the first fight as the unbeaten (20-0-1) WBO champion but saw both his "0" and his title belt go when Dubois stopped him early in Round 11. Dubois was 10 months off a second loss to Oleksandr Usyk (KO 5) that cost him the IBF title he'd won with a fifth-round finish of Anthony Joshua in 2024.

The rematch headlines a five-bout DAZN-streamed main card.

  • Daniel Dubois vs. Fabio Wardley, 12 rounds, heavyweight
  • Louie O'Doherty vs. Michael Gomez Jr., 12 rounds, lightweight
  • Adam Olaniyan vs. Dan Garber, 4 rounds, heavyweight
  • Bakhodir Jalolov vs. Solomon Dacres, 10 rounds, heavyweight
  • Nelson Birchall vs. Levi Gilles, 10 rounds, super featherweight

B/R will provide live updates when ring walks begin shortly after 2 p.m. ET.
