About
Dubois vs Wardley 2 hospitality puts your group at The Arena, London on Saturday 17 October 2026, when Daniel Dubois defends the WBO world heavyweight title against the man he took it from.
The first fight, at Co-op Live in Manchester on 9 May 2026, is the one people still talk about. Wardley put Dubois down in the first round and again in the third. Dubois got up both times, wore Wardley down and forced the referee to stop it in round 11. Wardley took the rematch, and the billing for the return says it plainly: Run It Back.
Dubois vs Wardley 2 hospitality: why this rematch matters
It is an all-British world heavyweight title fight in London. Dubois (23-3, 22 KOs) was born in Greenwich, so he defends his belt in his home borough. He is a two-time world heavyweight champion and the man who knocked out Anthony Joshua in five rounds in September 2024.
Wardley (20-1-1, 19 KOs) is from Ipswich. He started in white-collar boxing at 21 with no amateur career, won the British and Commonwealth titles, then won his world title in this same arena by stopping Joseph Parker in October 2025. Manchester was his first defeat as a professional.
Who else is on the card?
Two support bouts are confirmed so far. Bakhodir Jalolov, the unbeaten two-time Olympic heavyweight champion, faces Sol Dacres in chief support, and Louie O'Doherty meets Michael Gomez Jr for the British and Commonwealth lightweight titles. More fights are still to be added.
