Why Dubois vs Wardley 2 Is Must-Watch
Wardley dropped Dubois inside the first 10 seconds of their first fight and again in round 3. Dubois came back to win, and by round 10 Wardley's right eye was almost closed. Dubois says he wasn't at his best that night: "I was pretty overweight. I didn't even train that hard for that fight." Wardley thinks he was too reckless instead, saying he "got trigger happy" in May. Both are 6ft 5in with 19 or more knockouts, and Frank Warren doesn't expect it to go the full 12 rounds: "It ain't gonna go the distance. Not these two."
