Match Preview
Daniel Dubois and Fabio Wardley return to The O2 Arena on Saturday 17 October 2026 for one of the most anticipated heavyweight rematches in recent British boxing history — a Heavyweight World Championship contest at the venue where their first meeting ended in a fourth-round stoppage in 2022. Wardley has rebuilt his reputation comprehensively since that defeat, establishing himself as one of the most exciting and dangerous heavyweights in British boxing through a sequence of brutal stoppages that have kept the demand for this rematch at a boil. Dubois, meanwhile, has operated at the absolute peak of world heavyweight boxing, testing himself against the very best on the global stage. The rematch at The O2 brings two of the most compelling characters in the British heavyweight division together again with significantly higher stakes on both sides — title credentials, rankings and legacy all on the line. The O2 Arena in Greenwich holds around 20,000 for boxing and consistently produces the most intense atmospheres in the sport — the close-in sightlines, steep seating and electric east London crowd make for a ringside experience that rivals any venue in the world. The O2 is served by North Greenwich Underground (Jubilee Line), Uber Boat by Thames Clippers, the IFS Cloud Cable Car from Royal Docks and multiple bus routes. Official tickets are on sale via AXS — the O2’s official ticketing partner; note that the venue has stated that resale tickets purchased outside AXS may not be valid for entry. Book early via AXS; StubHub and Viagogo also list availability.
