Fabio Wardley will defend his WBO Heavyweight Title against former IBF ruler Daniel Dubois in a high-stakes domestic clash on May 9th. The showdown headlines the Don’t Blink event at Manchester’s Co-op Live Arena, with the full fight card to be broadcast live worldwide exclusively on DAZN,

Wardley (20-0-1, 19 KOs) has been cementing himself in the heavyweight division since capturing the WBO Heavyweight World Title in devastating fashion against Joseph Parker. Boasting an impressive 95% knockout ratio, the 31-year-old Ipswich native has consistently stepped up to every challenge, moving from the amateur white collar scene to elite professional ranks. Entering his first defense in Manchester, Wardley is determined to establish himself as the top-tier name in British heavyweight boxing.

Daniel Dubois (22-3-0, 21 KOs) brings elite experience and world class power in this high-stakes contest, also boasting a 95% knockout record. At just 28 years old, the Londoner is already a former IBF world champion and a veteran of six world title fights, including a knockout victory over Anthony Joshua at Wembley Stadium. Following a relentless run overcoming top-tier opposition like Filip Hrgovic and Jarrell Miller, ‘Triple D’ arrives at the Co-op Live on a mission to become a two-time world champion and derail his undefeated domestic rival.

The undercard features a series of high-stakes matchups. Jack Rafferty will launch an assault on the super lightweight division, as he takes on former British champion Ekow Essuman. In the light heavyweight division, the WBA light heavyweight champion David Morrell faces British challenger Zak Chelli, while in the heavyweight division the two-time Olympic gold medalist Bakhodir Jalolov clashes with Croatian veteran Argon Smakici.

Frank Warren, Chairman and Founder of Queensberry Promotions, commented: “They are tremendous fighting men, neither of them have gone backwards, they have always gone on to a tougher fight”, “This is a fabulous fight and you know you are in for excitement, don’t blink because this has excitement written all over it”.
