Daniel Dubois and Fabio Wardley weighed in at their career-heaviest for their highly anticipated heavyweight world-title rematch on Saturday in London. Dubois, the WBO champion, tipped the scales at 18st 2lb (115kg), while Wardley came in at 17st 10lb (112kg), setting the stage for another thrilling encounter at the O2 Arena.

The two British rivals previously delivered a fight-of-the-year contender in May, where Wardley floored Dubois twice, only for the Londoner to rally back and stop his opponent in the 11th round.

Wardley, 31, expressed confidence heading into the rematch, stating, "I draw confidence from the successes I had in the first fight - getting knockdowns in the first and third. I need to capitalise on those moments better. I'm ready to put on a cleaner performance."

In contrast, Dubois, 29, noted he was over 2lb heavier for the rematch, while Wardley has added over 6lb. When asked for his prediction, Wardley declared, "Revenge, Fabio Wardley, knockout win."

The pre-fight formalities took place at Old Spitalfields Market, where a couple of hundred fans gathered amidst street-food stalls. Wardley arrived early, appearing relaxed and engaging with fans, while Dubois came later, maintaining a more reserved demeanor.

He commented, "I know him now and know what to expect. I'm ready to go and do my job. I'm ready for a tear up. Let's go."

Despite the fierce rivalry, the face-off was drama-free, and Dubois quickly exited the stage after the event.
