Daniel Dubois vs Fabio Wardley 2 Fight Purse - how much money will British heavyweights earn this weekend?

British heavyweights Daniel Dubois and Fabio Wardley will reacquaint themselves inside the ring on Saturday night when the pair run back their classic encounter earlier this year.

Dubois picked himself off the canvas to capture the WBO title from his Queensberry stablemate in May and establish himself as a two-time blue-riband division ruler.

Wardley, who was making his first defence of the belt after being upgraded to full champion following Oleksandr Usyk's decision to vacate a few months earlier, floored his opponent twice during the opening three rounds but couldn't find that killer blow to deliver the knockout.

Dubois courageously regrouped, found his rhythm and established control of the fight, with his heavy barrage of shots finally taking their toll when the official correctly waved off proceedings in the 11th round with very little resistance being offered by the Ipswich man.

Now, the two will trade leather for a second time in a bout that has already captured the imagination of the British public.

Dubois and Wardley were handsomely rewarded for the first fight, and now, with the stakes even higher, there are expected to be even greater financial sums on offer for the rematch.
