Daniel Dubois will defend his WBO heavyweight world title against former champion Fabio Wardley in a highly anticipated rematch on 17 October at London’s O2 Arena.Londoner Dubois, 28, dethroned Wardley with an 11th-round stoppage in a thrilling all-British showdown in Manchester in May to become a two-time world champion.It was announced during Saturday’s undercard of Moses Itauma’s IBF heavyweight world title fight with Filip Hrgovic, with Dubois and Wardley facing off in the ring. Dubois said he is predicting a “dominant victory” before adding: “Let’s get it on. It’s just a war.”When you get in the water, you’re going to…

“He’s going to be fine with his stamina. He’s just going to slow down. He’s not going to overload on those shots when he almost had him out in the eighth.” Slowing down comes at a price. Throwing fewer combinations gives Hrgovic more time to set his feet and apply pressure. Itauma would need better defense and movement to compensate. The aggression that helped him win exchanges also exhausted him. He cannot assume he will retain control while doing less. Calling it exhaustion also gives too little weight to the punches Hrgovic landed. Fatigue left Itauma exposed, but Hrgovic still…

(ProBoxTV) LOS ANGELES – Offering certain entertainment, an allegiant audience and a championship strap, Lester Martinez at 30 has a full grasp of what this means. “They cannot escape me,” Martinez told BoxingScene Saturday night shortly after exiting the ring at USC’s Galen Center with a 10th-round knockdown and stoppage of unbeaten WBC No.4-ranked contender Luka Plantic.
