Get ready for Round 2 of one of the most thrilling heavyweight battles in recent memory. Daniel Dubois and Fabio Wardley are officially set to run it back, after Wardley activated his rematch clause following their epic showdown last weekend.

Wardley (20-1-1, 19 KOs) has triggered the contractual right to a second fight, and promoter Queensberry is already working to schedule the bout for the final quarter of 2026. "The boxing world knows my character, and Saturday night proved that without a shred of doubt," Wardley told Sky Sports. "It was a fight for the ages, but I made some mistakes that I will rectify in the rematch. Congratulations to Daniel, but I'm coming for you and my belt."

Their first meeting, held at the Co-op Live Arena in Manchester, England, was an instant classic and a frontrunner for 2026's Fight of the Year. Dubois (23-3, 22 KOs), the former IBF champion, dethroned Wardley of his WBO heavyweight title in dramatic fashion. Referee Howard Foster stepped in during the 11th round after Wardley absorbed a punishing right hand that drove him onto the ropes, defenseless.

But the fight was far from one-sided. Wardley rocked Dubois in the opening seconds of the contest and dropped him again in Round 3, showing the grit and power that made him champion. Dubois, however, showed championship heart of his own, recovering to take control as the rounds wore on. From Round 8 onward, the bout became uncomfortable viewing, with Wardley's legs unsteady as he answered the bell for Round 10. Despite the damage, neither the ringside doctor nor the referee stopped the fight—until that decisive 11th-round blow.

With the rematch now locked in, fans can expect another war between two heavyweights who left everything in the ring. For those looking to channel that same fighting spirit, gear up in performance-ready apparel that can handle every round—because champions never quit.
