Wardley's camp vows rematch as Dubois' adviser questions the timing

Fabio Wardley exercised a rematch clause following his 11th-round stoppage loss to Daniel Dubois, who captured the WBO heavyweight title in May. Dubois' adviser Sam Jones expressed skepticism about a swift rematch, suggesting Dubois might prefer a more lucrative fight. In response, Wardley's manager Mike Ofo rebuked the comments, labeling them offensive and emphasizing that Wardley emerged unscathed, aside from superficial damage.

Ofo affirmed the fight will go ahead as scheduled and predicted Wardley will reclaim the belt. Jones maintained that Dubois possesses superior fundamentals and punching power, though he acknowledged Wardley's ability to hurt him in the first encounter. The dispute highlights the promotional tension ahead of what both camps expect to be a marquee heavyweight showdown.
