The night is finally here, one that promises a fight to remember as two of the world's most explosive boxers,  Fabio Wardley and Daniel Dubois , do battle for the  WBO heavyweight title .

Live only on DAZN Pay-Per-View and DAZN Ultimate Tier , the pair go toe-to-toe  in an all British domestic slugfest , as Wardley bids to make his first defence of his world crown, after being handed the belt after Oleksandr Usyk relinquished it.

Fabio Wardley vs. Daniel Dubois form and history

Few bouts will come bigger than this in 2026, with a relatively rare chance to see two top-drawer British heavyweights go toe-to-toe with a world title on the line.

Dubois, of course, is no stranger to such an occasion - his five-round hit job on Anthony Joshua is already enshrined in folklore for its destructive power.

In a sense, despite his equally rough loss to Oleksandr Usyk, 'Dynamite' may enter as the favourite to wrench away Wardley's crown from the former white-collar star.

But the latter has made a regular habit of coming from behind to deliver the knockout blow, taking out Justis Huni before stunning Joseph Parker with late rallies.

Wardley may have quietly hoped for a different first defence - Derek Chisora was long-linked to a clash - but now will have a major chance to stamp his credentials.

Either way, it promises to be an absolute cracker of a bout to kick off what will surely be a busy summer season of sport and boxing across DAZN.
