Dubois vs. Wardley rematch announcement teased by Warren
Moses vs Hrgovic: Watch on DAZN PPV - Saturday
Frank Warren has revealed an announcement will be made this weekend about the eagerly anticipated rematch between WBO world heavyweight champion Daniel Dubois and Fabio Wardley.
Dubois and Wardley clashed last May in a bloody heavyweight encounter where Dubois was knocked down in both rounds one and three.
'Dynamite' then went on to rally and stop then defending champion Wardley in the eleventh to become a two-time world champion.
Relive the heavyweight epic between Wardley and Dubois
Shortly after, Wardley activated his rematch clause and with both men back in training, an official announcement is imminent.
"It’s signed, it’s going to happen, it’s just the date," Warren told The Stomping Ground when asked for an update on a Dubois-Wardley rematch.
"We'll announce the date over the weekend."
When and where could Dubois vs. Wardley rematch take place?
If the rematch between Dubois and Wardley is indeed confirmed over the weekend, do not be surprised if it takes place in October.
The Ring Magazine has reported a possible date of October 17 for the contest and a return to Manchester's Co-op Live which was where the first fight took place.
Wardley, who suffered serious injuries to his nose and right eye, is set to be a pundit for DAZN during Saturday's broadcast of Moses Itauma's clash with Filip Hrgovic for the vacant IBF heavyweight title.
