Wardley Camp: Dubois Rematch Won’t Be Rushed
Fabio Wardley’s team activates the rematch clause but insists recovery trumps revenge—no date set, timing firmly in their hands. The heavyweight’s future now hinges on a deliberate return.
Fabio Wardley’s manager Michael Ofo has activated the rematch clause against Daniel Dubois, but the second fight won’t be rushed. Wardley is recovering from a defeat with no concussion or fractures, according to Ofo, and will return only when fully healed. No date has been set, and the timing remains entirely in Wardley’s camp’s control.
The rematch clause was triggered within the standard 90-day window post-fight, a contractual obligation that now shifts the narrative from immediate redemption to strategic patience. The announcement follows Wardley’s loss to Dubois in a fight that saw the heavyweight take a brutal body shot in the third round, a moment that left fans questioning his durability. While Wardley walked away without serious injury, the exchange exposed vulnerabilities that a rushed rematch could exploit.
