British heavyweight fighter Fabio Wardley has offered his prediction for the potential rematch between reigning WBA, WBO, and WBC world heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk and IBF titleholder Daniel Dubois. Wardley expressed his belief that Usyk is likely to defeat Dubois once again in their upcoming second bout.
Wardley described the prospective fight as “incredible” and acknowledged that Dubois has likely learned and progressed since their initial meeting. He noted that this improvement makes the rematch “very intriguing.” However, despite this potential progress from Dubois, Wardley ultimately anticipates the fight unfolding in a manner “almost the same way” as their first encounter.
Offering his perspective, Wardley stated, “I do not underestimate Dubois and his progress lately, but ultimately at this point it is hard to bet against Usyk.”
For context, the rematch between Oleksandr Usyk and Daniel Dubois is currently scheduled to take place on July 19th at Wembley Stadium in London.
