    Maybe warren gets a bigger share from his fights than from other boxers in his stable?
    I see dubois winning against wardley, but I like both the same.
    Both are willing to fight anyone. Dubois is taking more challenges than almost anyone right now. And wardley is too.

    Btw wardley also had a little bit of favoritism with the parker stoppage. And he was lucky to get that fight as well.

    Maybe it's just the privilege of being born to the country with the most dedicated*wealthy boxing fans.?

    I think Dubios wins it, but hope Wardley does so we don't get Usyk/Dubios 3.

    Dubois should win on paper but he lacks self belief


    My pick is either Dubois early or Wardley late

    Right now im leaning toward Dubois early

    Unlike many in this thread I favour Dubois, although a Wardley KO wouldn't surprise me.

    I think Wardley is getting overrated based on landing a hail Mary punch in the 10th against Huni and eventually outslugging (after getting outboxed for much of it) a poor version of Parker. In another world he could have lost both convincingly.

    Wardley might be the worst opponent for Dubois at this stage of his career

    I think it could come down to who lands first but if it goes rounds and Dubois is cracking that chin with regularity I don't think Fabio is going to be displaying the same level of punch resistance as he did vs J-Park and Huni. Dubois hits too hard for you to be getting caught as cleanly and easily as Fabio does. But, likewise, I can just as easily envisage seeing Fabio win via KO himself

    Certainly going to be an interesting scrap. I look forward to the carnage!

    I love the Wardley story. But, as with all his fights, he still has to go in as an underdog. The only thing that makes this even is what Dubois is coming back from. If Dubois is feeling it, he could give Fabio trouble like he hasn't felt before. You can see the Dubois jab alone, bloodying up that nose, and the ref calling a TKO at some point ... Or WARdley just does Wardley!

    interesting one. wardley's heart/determination is undeniably levels above dubois but I dont think wardley can eat dubois shots all night long like he was with parker tho.

    Oh god don't even speak of it. That would give Fury-Chisora 3 a run for its money when it comes to most pointless trilogies. I'd sooner see Usyk fight Fury again, and I don't particularly want to see that, or anymore Usyk rematches, but at least that would be competitive. But with the way things are going with Dubois, they'll probably make it, if he gets past Wardley... which I can't see happening.

    Dubois is a bit better but Wardley is all wrong for him and will knock him out imo.
