Fabio Wadley He plots another domestic fight against another former world champion, which could become a reality if he successfully defends his WBO title. Daniel DuBois.

Wadley and Dubois will square off in a mouth-watering heavyweight showdown on May 9 on a Queensberry Promotions card at Manchester’s Co-op Live Arena.

Their world title fight, aptly titled “Don’t Blink,” had all the makings of an explosive shootout, with each man boasting a 95% knockout win rate.

However, Wardley ended up being favored by some given his impressive performance. Defeated former world champion Joseph Parker in the 11th round Last October.

Shortly after the win, the Ipswich man was promoted from “interim” to full-fledged WBO champion Alexander Usyk decides to give up belt.

Dubois, meanwhile, has not fought since losing to Usyk in the fifth round in July, when the Londoner badly lost his IBF belt.

The 28-year-old will certainly pose a dangerous threat in the coming fights, though, and Wardley is already considering a possible clash with Tyson Fury.

The “Gypsy King” must first defeat Arslanbek Mahmudov on April 11, but after that, Wardley is convinced another all-British world title fight could come to fruition.

talk with daily mail boxingThe 31-year-old said he initially attempted to defend his title for the first time against Fury until it turned out the 37-year-old needed a comeback fight first.

“I gave him (Fury) an open invitation and said: ‘Listen, if you want it, I’m here. Give me a call. Let me know. It’s no trouble for me; if you want to go in April, I’ll go in April.’

“But obviously, he’s fighting Mahmudov and doing his own thing. Hopefully – fingers crossed – he can get through it and then I get through Daniel and then, on the other side, we find ourselves in Wardley-Furry territory.”

Fury hasn’t fought since his second loss to Usyk in 2024, but with a win over Makhmudov, maybe he’ll be back at the top of the division soon.
