Who should Fabio Wardley face next?

[Master]

According to Jones, Dubois will return to the ring within the first five months of 2026.

While his next opponent remains unannounced, Dubois' team have made it clear that Fabio Wardley would be an- ideal option.

He explained: "Fabio Wardley is the champion, so it would be a voluntary defence.

"But outside of AJ, Tyson Fury, Usyk – Dubois is the biggest name for Fabio Wardley to fight, which would therefore generate the most money.

“If Fabio Wardley gets the Usyk fight then all credit to him, he deserves that opportunity.

"But, if he wants to make that fight, we can make it very, very quickly.”

Wardley v Fury winner gets Usyk (I thought I'd posted this already must have failed a couple of days ago when I submitted it)

Can Wardley beat Fury.....not sure. But he'll have aged, likely be rusty and maybe his punch resistance has diminished.

That's what makes this one interesting.

I'll be hoping Wardley sparks him early and gets rid of him once and for all - hard to believe I was a huge fan of his five years or so back

Fury would want an easier first fight back which is mooted to be Makhmudov.

Depending on how good he is now at this age and being off for some time I could see Fury beat WBA champion Gassiev easier than Wardley who holds the WBO title.

Fabio is very dangerous and could knock out Fury cold.

Itauma and Wardley are in the same gym and share their trainer Ben Davison. Whilst they could face one another I prefer they didn’t but it is getting more and more awkward as they both continue to be successful.
