IBF heavyweight champion Daniel Dubois says open to a struggle towards Fabio Wardley subsequent. Dubois (22-2, 21 KOs) will resolve along with his father, workforce, and promoter Frank Warren who shall be his subsequent struggle.
It’s not determined but whether or not Fabio shall be Dubois’ subsequent opponent, however given all of the discuss, it’s very possible that he’ll. A better option could be Joseph Parker or Martin Bakole. These two are way more deserving of a title shot towards Dubois than Wardley, and it could be extra entertaining to look at.
They might have an opportunity of successful. You possibly can’t say that about Wardley, who went life-and-death with Frazer Clarke of their first struggle final March. Though Wardley destroyed Clarke of their rematch on October twelfth, that was a fluke. That wasn’t a sign of how good Wardley is as a result of he’s not that form of a expertise.
Wardley turns 30 on December 18th, and has by no means fought a real world class-level fighter throughout his profession. Going up towards Dubois could be baptism by fireplace for the seven-year professional Wardley, and he might not final lengthy.
Ideally, Wardley wants two to 3 extra years of expertise to face a expertise like Dubois, however he’s seemed shaky even towards British-level opposition.
If that is nearly cash, throw Wardley in there and let the shark Dubois devour him on February twenty second. It received’t be a good struggle as a result of Wardley is so restricted that he might not final greater than two rounds.
The rematch towards Anthony Joshua seems unlikely because of AJ’s lingering accidents from a struggle towards Dubois on September twenty first and the coaching camp he attended to arrange for that battle.
If Dubois fights on February twenty second, he’ll want a superb opponent to maintain the momentum going along with his profession. The unbeaten #12 IBF Wardley (18-0-1, 17 KOs) is well-known within the UK and is coming off a first-round knockout win over Frazer Clarke on October twelfth.
“Deliver all of them on these contenders. They will all get a chunk,” mentioned Daniel Dubois to talkSport Boxing in regards to the subsequent title protection of his IBF heavyweight belt. “It’ll be everybody’s choice. My dad, the workforce, Frank Warren. We’ll all resolve. I’ve gone by means of some good battles in my final three fights, and I’m up there now.
“Whoever I’ve received to destroy, I’ll do it. I’m on type now, my confidence is true up there, I’m feeling on prime of the world. So whoever I’ve gotta destroy and take out of their distress, I’ll do it.”
