Dubois open to Wardley rematch
Daniel Dubois has revealed he is open to a rematch with Fabio Wardley after the pair's sensational heavyweight encounter.
'Dynamite' earned himself two-time world champion status after defeating the WBO champion in Manchester on Saturday.
Both men appeared drained by the brutality of their encounter, but Dubois is not opposed to a second dance after he rests.
"He took my shots and tested me," he was quoted by Sky Sports News. "What a warrior he is. If the rematch happens, bring it on."
Charles speaks out on slap routine
Trainer Don Charles has discussed how his viral slaps on Dubois during the bout helped "wake him up" atfer a slow start.
The Briton was dropped in the first and third round by Wardley, but went on to dominate the contest in terms of delivery.
Trainer Don Charles has discussed how his viral slaps on Dubois during the bout helped "wake him up" after a slow start.
Physical encouragement from Charles seemed to do the trick, with the trainer now speaking out on why he did just so.
"[I did it] to wake him up, to remind him of his duties," he told The Ring. "I think that woke him up. I've got heavy hands."
Chelli lays down Benavidez gauntlet
Zak Chelli has issued a bracing challenge to David Benavidez after Saturday night's major upset against David Morrell.
Having been a late addition to the Wardley-Dubois bill, the Briton turned spoiler in handing his foe a second pro loss.
That reverse came against 'The Mexican Monster' and his pound-for-pound quality - quality that Chelli now wants too.
“Morrell did pretty good with Benavidez, didn’t he?” he was quoted by Boxing Scene. “And I did better, so why not?"
