The former will defend his strap against the latter at The O2 Arena on October 17, live on DAZN Pay-Per-View and Ultimate .

But this time around, each man will return closer to home, with their second title fight set to take place under the Millennium Dome.

The bout was confirmed before Moses Itauma and Filip Hrgovic's IBF heavyweight contest, with two facing off in the ring together.

It marks a swift return to London for Wardley, who defeated Joseph Parker at the same venue to earn the WBO interim title last October.

For Dubois however, it ends a seven-year wait to return, having last fought in North Greenwich against Nathan Gorman in 2019.

Their clash came amid a busy slate of Queensberry Promotions announcements made ahead of the main event on Saturday night.

Joshua Buatsi and Willy Hutchinson were confirmed for a rematch on November 7, while Anto Cacace and Nick Ball will meet on December 19.
