This weekend in Manchester, Fabio Wardley and Daniel Dubois will face each other two British heavyweight fighters. The pair will break through the barriers at Co-op Live on Saturday (May 9) as they headline “Don’t Blink.”
This will be the first time Wardley (20-0-1, 19 KO) will have to defend his WBO title since it was elevated from interim status following his victory over Joseph Parker in October. Meanwhile, if Dubois (22-3, 21 KO) were victorious, he would become heavyweight world champion for the second time.
Although the competition is only a few days away, boxing fans can still purchase last-minute tickets from several official retailers. These include, among others: general admission options next VIP and guest packages.
Here are all the key details about purchasing Wardley vs Dubois tickets.
VIP and guest tickets
Unique seat is offering a number of official VIP and hospitality packages for the fight, but there are currently fewer than 10 tickets up for grabs. This is for Lounge package priced at £179 per person.
This will allow fans to enjoy the fight from seats adjacent to the stage, on the arena suite level, with access to a “luxury” private bar serving food and drinks, avoiding long lines for entry. Separate apartment service will also be available in the living room throughout the evening.
There is a catch, however, as fans must pay a booking fee of £8.95 per ticket. Those who want to be closer to the action can alternatively choose Ticketmaster VIP package from £109.95 to £854.50 per person, with the most premium option offering ringside seats and exclusive access to the Co-op Backstage Club.
This also includes a free food and drink package and a program of events at no extra cost.
General admission tickets
Ticket sales manager still offers general admission tickets in most areas of the Co-op Live arena, with prices starting from £49.95 for higher tiers. Costs naturally escalate as you get closer to the ring, with many of the lower tier seats being priced at £174.95 each.
Floor entry tickets are the most costly general admission option available and range from £174.95 to £570.95. However, for this additional expense, guests will be located near the ring in blocks C1-C3, directly behind the VIP area.
Customers should be aware that Ticketmaster charges additional fees of up to £3.25 per order.
Ticket sales and viagogo
Ticket resale
Many resale tickets are also available on sites such as StubHub AND viagogo. These are official tickets purchased by fans who have listed them for sale on websites and can cost more than their face value, with many single or multiple ticket options available.

There are also a few VIP ticket optionsbut these £800 face value tickets are valued at £1,204.96 each. This may change in the days leading up to the fight as sellers lower prices to make sales, but this is never guaranteed.
The same applies viagogowhere ticket prices currently range from £71 to £1,233. Again, the cheaper options are located furthest from the ring, with prices increasing on the lower level and upper floor.

Dmitry Bivol will defend his unified delicate heavyweight titles against Michael Eifert on Saturday in Russia.
Bivol (24-1, 12 KO) defeated Eifert (13-1, 5 KO) in a rematch at the UMMC Arena in Yekaterinburg.
Bivol is putting his IBF and WBA titles on the line, although his WBO title is not in danger.
The 35-year-old pound-for-pound star won the undisputed championship in a rematch with Artur Beterbiev last February, four months after his first professional loss to his compatriot.
Bivol decided to relinquish the WBC crown in pursuit of a third fight with Beterbiev, which did not take place, but David Benavidez upgraded to full master.
Eifert is the mandatory challenger for the IBF belt, but he hasn’t fought in almost two years.
The German has won seven in a row since his only professional defeat, including a unanimous decision victory over faded former world champion Jean Pascal more than three years ago.

Oleksandr Usyk agrees to fight again after avoiding a shock defeat to Rico Verhoeven
Published

May 25, 2026
Oleksandr Usyk has backed a potential fight with Agit Kabayel after avoiding a shock defeat to Rico Verhoeven in Egypt. The Ukrainian overcame a scare to defeat the kickboxing veteran, who had only one professional fight under his belt 12 years ago, after complaints emerged that the referee had stepped in too soon after a controversial stoppage.
The unified heavyweight champion of the world performed subpar in the Egyptian capital and soon found himself face to face with Kabayel, seeking a chance in the ring. Usyk has the advantage over Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua, and at 39 years vintage he still dominates the league. However, German Kabayel presents a novel challenge as the mandatory challenger for the WBC title, with the 27-year-old boasting an undefeated record with 19 knockouts. The WBC organization ordered that the fight would be next, and failure to conduct it could result in Usyk being stripped of his belt.
After the fight, Kabayel entered the ring and said: “First of all, congratulations to Oleksandr. I have been waiting for this fight for a long time.
“I’m ready and I think Germany is ready to fight. Let’s do it in a German stadium.
“I think this is what all the fans want. Let’s do it.” The 27-year-old has been the mandatory challenger since February 2025, following a knockout victory over Zhilei Zhang in Riyad.
The showdown between the top two of the heavyweight division is an opportunity for Usyk to delay the changing of the guard on Kabayel’s path of destruction as 21-year-old Moses Itauma threatens to challenge.
The 27-year-old’s manager, Spencer Brown, outlined the framework for the fight with the potential for Usyk to return to the ring before the end of the calendar year.
He said: “There will be an order, they will fight.
“I’m speechless for Rico; it was an unbelievable performance, but now there’s a novel challenger. He’s in line now; there can only be one fight. They both agreed to it, let’s go for it.”
“They are both ready. Whenever they want, hopefully in September or October in Germany.”

Oleksandr Usyk vs Rico Verhoeven – results and report after the fight

May 23, 2026
Oleksandr Usyk defended his world title in Riyad, defeating kickboxing icon Rico Verhoeven in the 11th round.
Verhoeven turned out to be a much tougher test for Usyk than many expected.
From the first bell, the Dutchman proved to be a problem, firing two tidy shots – one from above straight into the champion’s jaw, and the other a nasty shot to the body.
To the surprise of many, Verhoeven dominated most of the fight, with many viewers scoring just two or three rounds in favor of the Ukrainian.
Not only was Verhoeven in control, but he appeared to have hurt Usyk on numerous occasions, who looked nothing like the elusive champion we had become so accustomed to over the years.
Verhoeven went down in the 11th minute and went over the count before the referee led him to the corner to adjust his mouthpiece.
Ten seconds into the penultimate round, Usyk launched a brutal attack that injured Verhoeven, but he continued to fight. Nevertheless, the referee stepped in at 2:59 of the 11th round and called off the fight.
Many were outraged by the stoppage, with Derek Chisora calling it a “assault” and Ryan Garcia believing the round was already over by the time the referee stepped in.
In an in-ring interview after his victory, Usyk admitted that his opponent was right.

“Thank you so much Rico, you are an amazing fighter; my team, I love you; you are the best.
“That fight was tough, it was a good fight; I was just boxing, me I threw a right uppercut and bam bam bam.”
Hamzah Sheeraz vs. Alem Begic
Hamzah Sheeraz became the world champion in Egypt, easily defeating undefeated Alem Begić, and then challenged the other super middleweight champions.
From the first round, Sheeraz looked smarter and punched the German at will. Sheeraz was a bigger, stronger fighter and that was all that mattered.

He began to make the German pay in the second round before unleashing a brutal body attack that dropped Begic, who was unable to count.
After his victory he said: “I will fight anyone, we know who was supposed to be in the ring tonight; if Canelo wins [against Mbilli] it’s up to him whether he will fight me; he is one of the GOATS.”
Shakhram Giyasov vs. Jack Catterall
Jack Catterall lifted the WBA welterweight title and did it in style against Shakhram Giyasov.

Catterall made his presence felt from the first bell, beating Giyasov with a powerful back kick. Already in the first round, he repeatedly injured the Uzbek, who did well to stay alive.
Giyasov recovered well from the opening round, but won very few rounds, and “El Gato” probably did enough to convince the judges in each session.
Undercard remaining
Frank Sanchez scored a significant victory over Richard Torrez Jr., who was the clear favorite in the competition.

The American entered the contest ranked eighth by The Ring magazine, while Sanchez returned after a more than 400-day absence from the ring.
Torrez started well and looked the quicker, smarter as he backed the Cuban into the corner, but was caught in the second round. He was left exposed in the pocket and Sanchez made no mistake, landing a devastating right hook to finish off his man.
Mizuka Hiruta successfully defended her WBO super flyweight title against Egyptian fighter Mai Soliman, with three judges scoring the fight 98-92, 98-92 and 99-91.

Hiruta wasted no time in challenging undisputed flyweight world champion Gabriela Fundora.
Usyk’s stablemate Daniel Lapin was stunned by the sight of Benjamin Mendes Tani’s pyramids. The Ukrainian was undefeated until tonight, and his last victory was a stoppage in the first round in his own country.
Tani kept the pressure on and threw his fighter three times before the referee stopped the fight in the fourth round.
Three Egyptian players were involved in stoppages early in the match. Basem Madouh was stopped at home by undefeated Jamar Talley in the second round, and Omar Hilkal stopped his opponent in the third round of his professional debut.

Mohamed Mabrouk Yehya won by unanimous decision in his debut, and Saudi Arabia’s Sultan Almohammed improved to 4-0 after a first-round stoppage.
