    You're not wrong although there isn't particularly too much better options for Wardley. Bar Kabayel.

    Wardley V Dubois is a great fight, but I'd like to see Wardley fight Kabayel the most.

    The petty, desperate Usyk haters will be praying for a Wardley KO win.

    Great fight, even though Dubois lost his last fight, he beat Miller, Hrgovic and Joshua in a row, I'm looking forward to this fight.

    Would have been straight up malpractice by Warren not to make this fight.

    Can’t shake off the hunch that Dubois can really crack that Wardley Chin, Dubois by stoppage would be my early pick

    But regardless of the outcome, what a cracking fight, for aslong as it lasts the fans will win :thumbup:

    Very good fight but ANOTHER Dubois title shot? Guys like Hrgovic, Kabayel and Bakole have never gotten a title shot, Parker hasn't gotten one since he first won a belt like a decade ago, Zhang and Joyce never got title shots and likely never will. Meanwhile Dubois is on his 3rd in 3 years.
    Since 2020 the only top 10 guys to get title shots have been Fury, AJ, Wilder, Usyk, Whyte, and Dubois. 3 of those dudes were already long term champions and 1 of them got his title shot before he was a real top 10 contender, and then another after he'd already been elevated to being a belt holder. Contenders are aging out of their prime while the guys at the top have endless rematches and joke fights and are given endless opportunities. This issue could be solved if the champs were fighting more often but they're not.

    Very good fight and hard to predict. Almost definitely will be a stoppage either way.

    Does Dubois deserve this ? i couldn't give a monkeys. I just want to see good fights.

    I reckon Wardley is gonna put DDD flat on his back

    DDD has everything you need to beat Wardley, except self belief...

    They both hit like a truck, but Dubois is more refined and carries a more educated jab. My first instinct is that Dubois wins this, but if the fight isn't going how he likes Dubois' glass heart may set in, allowing Wardley to take it.

    Yeah I have to favour Dubios in this one. He's gonna crack that chin the way Zhang did to Joyce.
