Boxing fans, mark your calendars and clear your schedules because the heavyweight rematch the sport has been craving is here. On Saturday, October 17, 2026, at London’s iconic O2 Arena, WBO heavyweight champion Daniel Dubois puts his title on the line against the man who pushed him to the brink just five months ago: Fabio Wardley.
Their first meeting in Manchester delivered pure chaos with two early knockdowns of Dubois, a bloodied and battered Wardley refusing to quit, and an 11th-round stoppage that instantly became a Fight of the Year contender. Wardley immediately triggered the rematch clause. Now both men are back, heavier than ever, and promising even more fireworks.
While all eyes will eventually lock on the main event, the night’s action starts much earlier. The preliminary fight card is packed with rising talent, domestic title implications, and heavy-handed prospects ready to steal the show. And the best part? You can catch every moment of the prelims via live stream.
