Reigning WBC heavyweight champion Agit Kabayel has shared his prediction for the upcoming WBO heavyweight world title rematch between Daniel Dubois and Fabio Wardley. The bout is scheduled to take place at the O2 Arena in London on Saturday, October 17. Dubois previously won the WBO belt by recovering from two knockdowns to stop Wardley in the 11th round of their first fight in May.

Kabayel predicted that Dubois is likely to win again but stated that Wardley can defeat him if he improves his jab. Kabayel referenced Oleksandr Usyk's assessment that Wardley lost the first fight by neglecting his jab and relying too heavily on his right hand. The winner of the rematch could potentially face Kabayel or Filip Hrgovic in a future bout.
