What belt is on the line for Daniel Dubois vs Fabio Wardley II?

Daniel Dubois and Fabio Wardley lock horns at London's 02 Arena in an eagerly anticipated rematch on Saturday night.

The first encounter between the mammoth Brit heavyweights was one for the memory books, engaging in an 11-round war before Wardley was eventually stopped by referee Howard Foster.

While Wardley suffered defeat, it was a valiant effort from the Ipswich-born brute force and he'll have frustrations that he was unable to capitalise on knockdowns in round one and round three.

He'll be out to avenge his Co-op Live defeat this weekend, while Dubois will be desperate to add to a resume of impressive defeats and further etch his name in British boxing history.

Read on as we take a look at which belt will be on the line when Dubois and Wardley clash.

What belt is on the line for Daniel Dubois vs Fabio Wardley II?

Dubois will defend his WBO heavyweight title against Wardley on Saturday night.

Wardley first became the WBO interim heavyweight champion when overcoming Joseph Parker in the 11th round back in October 2025, and he was promoted to full WBO champion when Oleksandr Usyk vacated the title a month later.

Usyk's relinquishment meant that the Brit did not face the all-time great to earn the strap, but he was scheduled to make a voluntary first defence of the belt in May 2026 against Dubois.

Wardley unsuccessfully defended his honour, and Dubois became a world champion for the second time, having previously held the IBF heavyweight title after Usyk vacated in June 2024.

If Wardley can avenge his defeat against Dubois at the 02 Arena, he will become the sixth British heavyweight to win a world championship on two or more seperate occasions, following in the footsteps of 'Triple D', Tyson Fury, Anthony Joshua, Lennox Lewis and Herbie Hide.
