Frank Warren opens up about Daniel Dubois vs. Fabio Wardley 2 fight
Frank Warren described the Daniel Dubois and Fabio Wardley fight as the greatest heavyweight fight he had ever seen.
Wardley activated his rematch clause against Dubois, and Warren discussed how large their second fight could be.
The pair faced off just over a week ago in Manchester ahead of a record turnout for the boxing event taking place at the Co-op Live venue.
“DDD” defeated Wardley despite hitting the canvas in the first and third rounds. He put together a series of attacks, forcing the referee to stop the fight in the 11th round.
Promoter Warren announced immediately after the final bell that the former world champion had the option of a rematch with “Dynamite.”
Warren spoke to a man from Ipswich who triggered the option TalkSports about how monumental a rematch could be.
“I really believe it will end in the stadium.
“I think it will happen. This heavyweight division is very stimulating, there are so many great fights.”
Many were surprised that Wardley made the rematch happen just six days after the loss after the damage he sustained in combat.
Queensberry can confirm that Fabio Wardley has activated his rematch clause following his defeat in last week’s WBO world title fight against Daniel Dubois at Co-op Live in Manchester.

His coach, Ben Davison, has faced criticism on social media, with some believing he should have withdrawn his player before the referee was forced to step in.
He talked to Ade Oladipo Professional boxing fans and admitted that he expected the 31-year-old would have to leave the ring for a longer time.
“I said Fabio needs a break and I love him more than most, but I said, ‘Fabio, four of your last five fights have been complex.
“It’s complex physically, mentally, emotionally; you can say, ‘You know what, I’ll stop for a while and come back.'”
Oladipo continued to explain why Wardley might want an immediate rematch and where his motivations might come from.

“We are just people saying this. Fabio is not a normal man, he is not a normal person and he wants to get his belts back.
“Let’s also not forget that he had a tough fight with Frazer Clark, immediately retaliated and knocked him out after about a minute, so he will have the confidence to hurt Daniel.
“He’ll think, ‘I knocked him down twice, I hurt him on multiple occasions.’
“The most vital factor is the paycheck, the paycheck will be much bigger and it will go to the stadium. Why would you turn that down?”
With just 10 days since their first fight, it will likely be some time before an official announcement is made regarding the date or location of the pair’s rematch, although Warren has raised the possibility of a November clash as a stadium rematch now seems inevitable.

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).
