Wardley v Dubois - heavyweight fight predictions

BBC Sport

"I think Wardley is going to win this fight. Dubois is coming off the back of a loss, which is tough. But Wardley still has a lot to prove.

He's the heavyweight champion of the world but he's yet to have a world title fight. I think the stoppage will come in the second half of the fight. Maybe rounds six to nine.

" "If we get a positive Dubois who uses his jab and skills, I think he can outbox Wardley but can also knock him out. "Wardley doesn't have the same skillset but has something most fighters don't have; that innate toughness, fire and ability to stay calm under pressure. "I think somehow Wardley will get up of the floor, maybe even twice, to stop Dubois late on.

I think Dubois will be panicked and maybe possibly stay on his knee. I am going for Wardley in rounds eight to 10. " Boxers, Frank Warren and trainers break down Wardley v Dubois "I really rate Dubois.

Every time he has a setback, he comes back bigger and better and proves people wrong. He had another setback against Oleksandr Usyk. Will that motivate him to come back better again?
