Dubois vs Wardley 2: Start time, undercard and how to watch fight tonight

Daniel Dubois and Fabio Wardley meet again tonight, with boxing fans expecting another chaotic classic between the British heavyweights.

In May, Dubois climbed off the canvas twice – including in the first 20 seconds – to stop Wardley on his feet as the towel came in in round 11.

With that dramatic victory in Manchester, Dubois won the WBO title, which he will defend against Wardley in tonight’s main event in London.

Wardley had never lost as a professional before his 11th-round defeat by Dubois, so has he learned the relevant lessons to exact revenge?

Or will Dubois extend his second world-title reign and close in on a unification fight?

Here’s all you need to know.
