What Happened in the First Dubois vs. Wardley Fight?
Dubois and Wardley first met on May 9, 2026, at Manchester’s Co-op Live Arena.
Wardley started aggressively, knocking Dubois down in both the first and third rounds. However, Dubois recovered and gradually took control of the contest.
The victory earned Dubois the WBO heavyweight championship and handed Wardley his first professional defeat.
What makes this rematch particularly interesting is Wardley’s ability to hurt Dubois early in their first encounter. However, Dubois demonstrated his composure by surviving two knockdowns and eventually taking control.
Wardley will need to find a way to maintain his early momentum if he hopes to reverse the result.
Both fighters have demonstrated impressive finishing ability. Dubois previously knocked out Anthony Joshua in the fifth round, while Wardley delivered late stoppage victories over Joseph Parker and Justis Huni.
With both heavyweights capable of ending a fight with one punch, their second meeting could produce another dramatic finish.
