A huge fight between Fabio Wardley and Daniel Dubois is reportedly in the works and former world champion Duke McKenzie has already predicted how it might go.
Wardley would be making the first defence of his WBO title if this fight gets made. He was elevated to full champion last year after stopping Joseph Parker, just months after also stopping Justis Huni.
Dubois, meanwhile, last fought back in August when he got knocked out for the second time by the former two time undisputed heavyweight great, Oleksandr Usyk.
It will be a tough first fight back for Dubois, who is now also back with his old coach Don Charles after a brief split.
Speaking to Bro Boxing Fans and DukeBox, McKenzie can’t see past a win for Wardley.
“I like Daniel Dubois, but just because I like him doesn’t mean I can’t give an unbiased professional opinion, cause in my opinion, he ain’t gonna beat Wardley.
“They need to put some respect on Fabio Wardley’s name. To call out Fabio, this isn’t a warm up fight, you don’t call Fabio out as a warm up.
“This is a world title. They need to put some respect on his name. He’s a world champion in his own right. He’s 5% better now than when he won the title ’cause that’s what he gives you.
“He’s just beaten Joseph Parker and messed him up. It wasn’t an easy fight, it ebbed and flowed, but ultimately Wardley got the job done, that’s what he does.”
The fight is likely to take place on May 9 at a venue in the UK that is yet to be confirmed.
