Wardley: How Town helped me recover from Dubois loss – and why I’ll win the rematch

Fabio Wardley revealed how Ipswich Town aided his physical recovery following his eleventh-round defeat to Daniel Dubois in May. Speaking ahead of their WBO heavyweight world title rematch at the O2 Arena on Saturday, the Suffolk fighter explained that the football club granted him access to their facilities, including hyperbaric chambers and ice baths, to help him recuperate from cosmetic injuries and body soreness.

Wardley accepted full accountability for his first career loss, admitting he became overconfident after scoring two early knockdowns. Ahead of the rematch, which will be broadcast on DAZN, Wardley expressed his aim to secure an early stoppage, though he noted he would prioritize a subsequent division unification over a potential trilogy fight.
