Daniel Dubois aims to become two-time world champion when he faces WBO heavyweight champion Fabio Wardley at Manchester's Co-op Live Arena this Saturday. Trainer Don Charles guarantees the team will not host any pre-fight party, contrasting with previous celebrations that Dubois joked influenced his Usyk defeat.

Dubois and Charles ended their 18-month relationship after the Usyk loss at Wembley but later reunited in 2025. The trainer revealed Dubois remained active during their time apart, taking a five-week holiday before returning to familiar training grounds. The reconciliation was marked by emotional embraces and Charles declaring "welcome home" to his former fighter.

This fight represents Dubois' chance to reclaim his position at the top of the heavyweight division after his previous world title challenge. Wardley, defending his championship, stands in Dubois' path as both British heavyweights aim to solidify their status in the sport's most prestigious weight class.
