Daniel Dubois and Fabio Wardley meet for the second time at London's O2 Arena on Saturday night, with Dubois' WBO heavyweight title on the line. At Friday's weigh-in Dubois came in at 253.9lb and Wardley at 248.3lb, according to Boxing News – the heaviest of both men's careers, BBC Sport reported.
In their first fight in Manchester in May, Wardley put Dubois down twice, but Dubois came back to win by 11th-round stoppage. "I know him now and know what to expect. I'm ready to go and do my job," Dubois told the BBC. Wardley said: "It's simply seek and destroy."
Promoter Frank Warren said that if Wardley wins, "it's a natural fight" – a trilogy. DAZN is broadcasting the card.
