Fabio Wardley has promised Oleksandr Usyk that he is working on improving his jab ahead of his upcoming rematch against Daniel Dubois. The heavyweight bout is scheduled to take place on October 17 at London's O2 Arena. Wardley acknowledged Usyk's advice to use his jab more, stating that adjustments are being made in training.
