Fabio Wardley has activated a contractual clause to set up an immediate rematch with Daniel Dubois, according to multiple reports. The decision comes after their first fight in Manchester, in which Dubois defeated Wardley by stopping him in round 11 of what outlets describe as a close, bruising heavyweight contest. Wardley had been unable to retain his WBO heavyweight title in the bout, but the clause gives him a route to contest the championship again quickly. BBC News, Sky Sports, Channel NewsAsia, and other outlets report that the rematch is triggered by Wardley and that the timing is tied to terms agreed in the contract for their initial meeting. The Athletic and Sky Sports also note that promoter Queensberry confirmed Wardley’s clause activation. While some coverage focuses on Wardley’s intent to “come for” the belt again and mentions potential next steps for Dubois, the core shared point across the reports is that an immediate second fight is now being lined up following Wardley’s decision to enforce the rematch provision.
