Fabio Wardley puts his WBO world heavyweight title on the line against Daniel Dubois at Co-op live this evening. Triple D heads into the highly-anticipated looking to be champion again while the former is making his first defence since being promoted from interim champion following Oleksandr Usyk's decision to vacate the title.
Two of Dubois' career defeats are to the Ukrainian but he has vowed that Wardley will not hear the final bell on Saturday with the 28-year-old aiming to secure another huge victory, similar to his fifth round triumph over Anthony Joshua back in September 2024.
His opponent on the night meanwhile, is yet to suffer a loss from 21 professional fights with 19 of them by knockout which certainly explains why this fight has been labelled the "Don't Blink" main event.
The ring walks of Dubois and Wardley are expected to take place just after 11pm BST with the DAZN programme starting at 6pm. There are also some exciting fights on the undercard, which includes the Super-lightweight co-main event between Jack Rafferty and Ekow Essuman with the main programme to get underway at 6pm.
