Get ready, fight fans! This Saturday night (May 9, 2026), the Co-op Live Arena in Manchester will host an all-British heavyweight showdown that promises fireworks. Fabio Wardley puts his WBO heavyweight title on the line against former WBA and IBF champion Daniel Dubois. And the best part? You can catch both fighters live in today's open workouts, streaming right here at 12 p.m. ET. It's your chance to see these bruisers up close before they step into the ring.

Wardley enters the bout undefeated at 20-0-1, riding high after claiming the interim strap in October 2025 with a technical knockout victory over Joseph Parker. He was later elevated to undisputed champion when Oleksandr Usyk vacated the title just a month later—a turn of events that only adds to the drama. For Dubois, it's a chance at redemption: he lost his IBF title to Usyk in July 2025, marking his second defeat to the Ukrainian. But don't count him out—before that setback, Dubois delivered a stunning stoppage win over fellow Brit Anthony Joshua, proving he can knock out the best.

So, who has the edge? Legendary boxing trainer Teddy Atlas weighed in on YouTube: "It might come down to who lands first. Both guys are big punchers, and their go-to weapon is the right hand. They've both been caught with right hands, so each is vulnerable to the other's strength. Right now, I give the edge to Wardley. He just won a heavyweight title, he's undefeated, and Dubois is coming off a knockout loss to Usyk."

This clash of power and resilience is a must-watch. For the full fight card and more details on the "Wardley vs. Dubois" lineup, check out the finalized list. Whether you're gearing up for the big night or just love the sport, this is heavyweight boxing at its finest.
