Sky Sports Champions League •

Fabio Wardley will pursue a heavyweight unification bout against Oleksandr Usyk after facing Daniel Dubois. Elevated to WBO champion after Usyk vacated the title, Wardley acknowledges the Ukrainian holds the other three belts and wants to test his unorthodox style against the unbeaten champion.

Dubois presents a stern test as Wardley risks his title. The former world champion has knocked out Joshua and previously faced Usyk. Wardley, a 'white collar' boxer with no amateur experience, views Dubois as a stepping stone to bigger fights.

Both fighters approach the bout with championship determination. Wardley states he has one belt and is not stopping there, while Dubois calls this the pinnacle moment of his career. The winner likely moves toward a unification bout against the undisputed champion.
