Fabio Wardley isn't one to back down from a challenge. The British heavyweight has officially activated his rematch clause for a second showdown with Daniel Dubois, confirming the news to Sky Sports. After a brutal title loss that saw him stopped in the late rounds—despite dropping Dubois twice early on—Wardley is already eyeing redemption.

Their first encounter was nothing short of a slugfest. Wardley came out swinging, flooring Dubois in the opening rounds and looking poised for a statement win. But Dubois weathered the storm, turning the tide with punishing blows that left Wardley visibly battered. The fight grew increasingly difficult to watch as Wardley absorbed heavy damage, prompting many to wonder if he'd take time to recover. Instead, he's jumping right back into the fire.

“It was a fight for the ages, but I made some mistakes that I will rectify in the rematch,” Wardley said. “Congratulations to Daniel, but I’m coming for you… and my belt!” It's the kind of bold talk that fuels boxing's best rivalries, and fans are already buzzing about the sequel, expected later this year.

Promoter Frank Warren of Queensberry confirmed the rematch clause has been triggered, adding that both sides are committed to delivering what he believes will be a Fight of the Year candidate. For now, Wardley is recovering from what are described as superficial facial injuries—no hospital treatment needed—and is already plotting his path back to glory.

Whether you're team Wardley or team Dubois, one thing's certain: this rematch has all the makings of a classic. Gear up for the next chapter in heavyweight boxing, and stay tuned for fight night details.
