    Leaning towards Dubois, either way it's a fantastic fight and since it's in Manchester I might as well purchase tickets for this.

    Dubois will fold the first time Wardley properly connects.

    Wardley stoppage.

    Great fight that I cannot wait for!!

    Think I’d back a Wardley stoppage.

    Dubois will fold like a deckchair as soon as Fabio puts it on him.
    Wardley KO within 6 rounds

    This is a decent one, a chance for young Daniel to recover the status he has lost with the wretchedly bad loss to Usyk where he looked amateurish. Also a good challenger for Wardley, as he continues on this winning run and proving many of the doubters wrong.

    I can imagine a lot of people will favour young Daniel in this fight, given his return to Don Charles and how important it is that he does not suffer another loss.

    Its an intriguing fight that could go either way on paper.

    Pleased to see a genuine 50/50 World Heavyweight Title fight happening in the UK.

    Looking forward to a first visit to the Co-op Live Arena to watch this fight live assuming the Ticket Touts are stopped from buying thousands of tickets.

    Very entertaining fight. One that nobody can predict with any real authority. I am going with Dubois to Knock him out. Can’t get past Wardley getting his head boxed off a couple of fights ago, was losing against Parker too. In my opinion, Dubois will use his jab and Wardley will walk onto something eventually.

    Should be a great fight.

    Wouldn't be shocked if Dubois won as he can definitely bang.
    But when it comes to heart Wardley is head and shoulders above Dubois.

    For me, if Dubois can't get Wardley out in first 3 or 4 rounds he will get stopped mid to late

    The game plan has to centre around that dubois jab/double jab surely?
    He really needs a good start in this fight though, he can’t afford to take shots early and let the doubts start creeping in

    I wouldn't be too sure; against Miller and Hrgovic he kept coming, and even against Joshua he wasn't discouraged when he ate power shots. In contrast he quit against Joyce and Usyk (arguably twice); whether Dubois mentally checks out or not seems to have much more to do whether he is in the fight at the time, as opposed to the power he is absorbing. If he is in the ascendancy against Wardley then I don't think he will fold if Wardley properly connects, conversely if the fight is going away from Dubois and Wardley cracks him I'm sure he will take the opportunity to quit.

    Scam Jones with his usual talking over everyone and trying to get the attention.

    Fair play to that Michael giving him some back. Asked him a few questions he couldn’t answer. “You don’t do anything else”.

    I think Dubois beats the life out of Wardley in this one. Makes it look easy.

    That's possible, but I reckon Dubois will quit once Wardley starts landing

    That's saying something

    Cant see past Dubois in this one.

    Wardleys surprised me massively and he might go on to become one of them boxers that defy your predictions over and over again. But dubois should have too much for him imo.

    You cant really afford to get hit too much from dubois. Usyk bamboozled him with movement/angles etc and joyce beat him to the jab. But if he can land....and wardley isnt that hard to land on....it probably wont end well.
