Heavyweight who sparred Wardley and Dubois predicts one man will survive a knockdown to win by KO

Published

on

On Saturday, Fabio Wardley and Daniel Dubois go toe-to-toe for the WBO heavyweight title, and Johnny Fisher – who has sparred both – has laid out his prediction for the bout, anticipating a dramatic finish.

Wardley has never been dropped and has won via stoppage in all but one of his 20 career triumphs, with that solitary decision victory coming in a four-round affair on his professional debut – although that knockout streak is interrupted by a 2024 draw against Frazer Clarke.

Similarly, Dubois has only won once on the judges’ scorecards, coming against the durable Kevin Johnson, whom he outpointed after 10 rounds in the ninth contest of his professional career back in 2018.

Speaking to The Sun Sport, fan-favourite British title hopeful Fisher, who has shared the ring with both men in sparring, predicted that Wardley will add another impressive stoppage to his résumé, but that he will do so after hitting the deck for the first time in his career.

“Wardley, round 10 stoppage. I reckon that he comes off the canvas in round three and then he comes back in round 10 and stops Daniel. It is going to be a close-fought match. I think that the fight gets stopped by the referee.”

Wardley vs. Dubois takes place at the Co-op Live Arena this weekend, with that main event being the sixth occasion in boxing history where a heavyweight world title has been on the line in Manchester, nine years since Joseph Parker decisioned Hughie Fury in the most recent instance.

It was also mentioned that he would operate out of Los Angeles, where he currently stays. The contract also highlighted that Nick will receive $2 million per annum til the end of 2026, and his base salary will be bumped to $3 million per annum in 2027.

I mean, Nick (Khan) took half of the f*cking WrestleMania net… But I’m busting his ba*ls because we sat here and went over the numbers, and the year before was $1.4 billion. The next year, you’re $1.7 billion. So that’s $300 million. So, I’m busting Nick’s ba*ls, but we sat here and went over the numbers…” said Kevin Nash.
