Daniel Dubois could secure another domestic dustup, possibly against a fellow champion, if he comes through his expected rematch with Fabio Wardley.

The pair collided for Wardley’s WBO title in May, with the defending world champion scoring heavy knockdowns in rounds one and three.

Dubois, however, was able to regroup in round four, using his thudding jab and superior footwork to gain control and start building a handy lead.

By the end, proceedings had become increasingly one-sided as the 28-year-old engineered an 11th-round stoppagecementing himself as a two-time heavyweight champion.

Since then, though, Wardley has activated the rematch clause in their contract, with the 31-year-old expected to land an opportunity to reclaim his WBO title later this year.

For Dubois, meanwhile, there could be yet another all-British clash on the horizon, as heavyweight prodigy Moses Itauma believes their encounter is almost inevitable.

First, the Queensberry stablemates must come through their respective next outings, with Itauma squaring off against Filip Hrgovic at London’s O2 Arena on August 29.

If Itauma emerges victorious, then the 21-year-old has told IFL TV that he would aim to collect a title before entering a potential unification match with Dubois.

“I think me and Dubois will definitely happen at some point this year, next year or the year after. Only because it’s two Brits and he doesn’t seem like he’s slowing down and I feel like I’m speeding up.

“I feel like it’s definitely going to happen but, if it does, it will be after I’ve got a belt and he’s got a belt, or we’ve got two each.”

Should he beat Hrgovic, Itauma may land a world title shot against Frank Sanchez, for instance, as the pair have already been ordered to collide for the vacant IBF strap.

Tony Bellew has admitted to feeling uncomfortable and furious, seemingly in equal measure, while watching 12 chaotic rounds between Deontay Wilder and Derek Chisora earlier this year.

The two heavyweight veterans squared off in April, entering their respective 50th professional outings, with Chisora insisting that this would be his last dance.

Prior to their showdown, the Brit had claimed back-to-back points victories over Otto Wallin and Joe Joyce, perhaps indicating that he was enjoying something of a purple patch.

Given the beatdown he endured against Tyson Fury in 2022, however, it could be said with certainty that, even back then, Chisora was far removed from his prime.

But the same, of course, could be said of Wilder, who had suffered punishing defeats to Joseph Parker and Zhilei Zhang in 2023 and 2024, respectively.

Much like with Chisora, though, many suspect that the American’s third encounter with Fury – which resulted in a gruelling 11th-round stoppage defeat in 2021 – was what ultimately put him on a steep decline.

Yet the 40-year-old nonetheless scored two knockdowns and defeated Chisora by split decisionkeeping himself in the mix for another lucrative opportunity.

As for Chisora, former world champion Bellew has told BBC 5 Live Sport that witnessing his close friend in Manchester was a particularly low point of 2026.

“Without a shadow of doubt, the low point’s Wilder and Derek. I wasn’t comfortable. I didn’t like it. I didn’t like what I [saw].

“[Chisora’s] gonna kick off at me; he’s gonna go mad at me when he sees this, but I was furious on the night. That wasn’t Derek Chisora in that ring.”

While Wilder, too, is well past his best, it seems the former WBC champion is nonetheless closing in on a clash with Oleksandr Usyk.

“I love Keyshawn. I think he’s hard to beat. When he’s on point, no one can beat him,” Mora said to Fighthype. “Devin Haney has a better resume. Devin Haney, every time I think that he’s going to come up short, he surprises me. What he did with Brian Norman was incredible. I would have to edge out Haney because of that, because of the resume, because he keeps proving people wrong, because of that jab, because Davis is inconsistent. He can be red hot or he can be cold, but when he’s red hot, he’s pound for pound.”

While Mora offered his prediction, it’s unclear whether Haney and Keyshawn will ever share the ring.

The WBO has ordered Haney to defend his title against Keyshawn, but the bout still must be negotiated. A sanctioning body order does not guarantee a fight will happen, particularly when financial terms have yet to be discussed.

Bill Haney has spent the past week publicly pursuing bigger-money fights against Gervonta Davis and Shakur Stevenson, suggesting those remain the preferred options if they can be made. If neither materializes, Keyshawn could become the fallback choice, but even then, there is no assurance an agreement will be reached.

Haney’s proposed fight against Rolly Romero serves as a recent reminder that negotiations can collapse even when a matchup appears close. If the economics don’t work for both camps, the Keyshawn fight could suffer the same fate.

Mora’s prediction remains just that, a prediction on a fight that may never move beyond the negotiating table.
