Fabio Wardley vs Daniel Dubois – weigh-in results
Fabio Wardley was lighter than Daniel Dubois, who stepped on the scale at the highest weight of his career.
Wardley will defend his WBO heavyweight title against Dubois on Saturday at the Co-op Live Arena, live on DAZN.
Wardley tipped the scales at 242.2 pounds, just under half a pound less than his last victory over Joseph Parker, when he entered the competition at 242.7 pounds; in the fight with Parker he was lower, as he will be on Saturday.
Dubois weighed 251.7 pounds, the most of his career; “DDD” had his last fight against Oleksandr Usyk weighing in at 243.8 pounds, so the weight enhance is clearly intentional.
TalkSport’s Simon Jordan covered the pair’s latest clash on DAZN’s recent fight week format, ‘The Cauldron’.
Both men pursed their lips, saying, “The call is over,” waiting for the first bell to ring, which could be expected in less than 24 hours.
Wardley is defending his world heavyweight title for the first time after being promoted from interim champion in November.
The undefeated Ipswich fighter stopped former world champion Joseph Parker in the 11th round in his last appearance in October.
Dubois looks like a two-time world heavyweight champion who previously held the IBF crown.
The 28-year-old will enter the All-British fight following a fifth-round knockout defeat to Oleksandr Usyk in July last year.
With a knockout rate of 95% in each case, few expect Saturday’s fight to be a long one, and a defiant Dubois predicted a knockout victory.
“I’m going to eliminate him,” the 28-year-old said Sky Sports News.
“Put him to sleep, take this belt.
“I’m just going to fight like I fight, and what I do is cause damage and cause pain.
“That’s all I’m going to do.
“He was a decent fighter, but I will show that it is at a certain level.

“But he behaved decently, you can’t take anything away from him.
“Just watch and see. I will show up.
“I’m motivated, really motivated.
“I came back from being champion and I’m going to try to be champion again, so I’m ready for it.”
Wardley is as confident as his rival and has warned him against getting into a shootout with him.
“If he wants to commit and get stuck in, in my case I don’t think it will last long,” the 31-year-old told Pro Boxing Fans after Thursday’s final press conference.
– This won’t work in his favor.
“But from the sounds of it, his team has no plans to do that.
“I think they’re trying to stay away from me.”

On Wednesday, Lewis Crocker heads to Australia to defend his IBF welterweight world title against Liam Paro for the first time.
Crocker will face Paro at the Pat Rafter Arena in Queensland, live on DAZN in the UK and Kayo Sports in Australia.
Crocker (22-0, 11 KO) became world champion in September, defeating Paddy Donovan twice before winning the rematch by split decision.
Man from Belfast recorded his second victory over Donovan after the first victory in March last year, and his rival was disqualified for hitting him after the bell.
Paro (27-1, 16 KO) is trying to become a world champion in two weight categories, having previously reigned in the super-lightweight division.
The 30-year-old won the title with a unanimous decision victory over Subriel Matias in Puerto Rico before winning the belt in his first defense against Richardson Hitchins.
The Australian has since won twice, overtaking David Papot in his last appearance in September.
McKean meets Taliva
Heavyweight Demsey McKean will look to continue his rebuild when he faces Liam Talivaa for the vacant IBF Pan Pacific title.
McKean (24-2, 16 KO) had his career cut miniature after a last-round loss to Filip Hrgovic, followed by a brutal first-round loss to Moses Itauma.

The 35-year-old southpaw returned to winning ways with back-to-back stoppage victories.
Talivaa (8-2, 4 KO) last won the IBF Oceania-Orient title, defeating Faiga Opelu by first-round stoppage.
Undercard remaining
At cruiserweight, Luke Modini (13-0, 11 KO) will likely need distance to beat Peng Qu (17-2-1, 12 KO), while Riley Candy (8-1, 5 KO) could stop Nathan Watson (11-3, 3 KO) at super middleweight.
Vegas Larfield (13-1, 9 KO) can hand Shamal Ram Anuj (11-8, 8 KO) his fourth defeat in a row in a featherweight clash.
Heavyweight Nelson Asofa-Solomon (2-0, 2 KO) can secure a third straight knockout over debutant George Burgess, and Stevan Ivic (8-0-1, 2 KO) can do the same against Caleb Tialu (3-7, 3 KO), also a heavyweight.
Prospective super welterweight fighter Jack Javed (1-0) should overtake Lance McDonald (1-5-1, 1 KO).
