Fabio Wardley can join an illustrious list of two-time British world heavyweight champions if he overcomes Daniel Dubois this weekend.
Britain have been blessed with a plethora of talented heavyweights over the years, but only five boxers have won a world title on two or more separate occasions.
Read on to find out who Wardley could join in the list with victory over 'Triple D' at the 02 Arena.
Widely regarded as the greatest heavyweight in British boxing history, Lennox Lewis clinched his first world title in 1992 after Riddick Bowe relinquished his WBC strap.
After losing the belt to Oliver McCall in 1994, he reclaimed the vacant championship in the rematch in 1997 -- before unifying the WBA and IBF titles to become the undisputed champion in 1999.
After losing to Hasim Rahman via KO in 2001, he defeated the American when the two locked horns for a second time seven months later -- reclaiming his WBC and IBF straps to become the first and only three-time world champion from Britain.
Herbie Hide -- who boasts an impressive 49-4 record after retiring in 2010 -- became just the fourth Brit in boxing history to win a heavyweight title when defeating America's Michael Bentt for the WBO strap in 1994.
He failed to retain the belt when losing to Riddick Bowe at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in his first defence, but he reclaimed the same belt when defeating Tony Tucker on home soil in 1997, becoming a two-time world heavyweight champion in the spcae of just three years.
Renowned for his sheer athleticism and physical power, Anthony Joshua became a world heavyweight champion in just his 16th professional fight when defeating Charles Martin for the IBF title in April 2016.
He added the WBA belt to his list of honours when overcoming Wladimir Klitschko in an 11-round war just a year on, and later won the WBO strap with victory over Joseph Parker to become a three-belt unified world heavyweight champion.
He lost all titles in a shock defeat to Andy Ruiz Jr. in June 2019, but reclaimed his belts when winning the rematch via unanimous decision later that year.
It took Tyson Fury until his 25th fight to become world champion, but when he did he struck gold, defeating Wladimir Klitschko to win three of the four major major belts, the WBA, IBF and WBO titles.
The 'Gypsy King' relinquished his belts when taking a lengthy hiatus from boxing after beating the Ukrainian, and after two warm-up fights, was unable to clinch the WBC heavyweight title when drawing to Deontay Wilder.
After overcoming Tom Schwarz and Otto Wallin, Fury and Wilder clashed for a second time, with the Brit emerging victorious via TKO in the seventh round. After winning the WBC belt, he retained the title on three occasions, before losing the strap when falling to a split decision against Usyk in May 2024.
Dubois became the IBF interim heavyweight champion with victory over Filip Hrgovic, before becoming the full belt holder when Usyk vacated the strap in June 2024.
DDD retained the title with a knockout victory over Anthony Joshua, but he lost the championship when losing to Usyk for a second time in July 2025.
On his return to the ring, he beat Wardley in all-British war to win the WBO heavyweight champion. Victory over Wardley would see him successfully defend a world title for just the second time, while defeat would see the Ipsiwch-born heavyweight join this illustrious list.
