Tap title to read story
Daniel Dubois and Fabio Wardley both stepped onto the scales at their career‑heaviest ahead of Saturday’s heavyweight world‑title rematch in London.
Dubois tipped the scales at eighteen stone two pounds, while Wardley came in at seventeen stone ten pounds, each adding weight since their first bout. The two British rivals produced a fight‑of‑the‑year contender in Manchester in May, with Wardley flooring Dubois twice before the Londoner rallied to stop his bloodied opponent in the eleventh round.
Wardley, thirty‑one, said he would capitalise on those moments better, while Dubois, twenty‑nine, remained economical with his words, ready to defend his title. The pre‑fight formalities took place at Old Spitalfields Market, where a couple of hundred fans gathered beneath the Victorian roof to witness the weigh‑in.
