Where Dubois vs Wardley will be won and lost from sledgehammer hands and fast feet to slow starts and pure greed

Boxing trainer Shane McGuigan broke down the key tactical battles ahead of the rematch between Daniel Dubois and Fabio Wardley. Dubois previously recovered from two early knockdowns to stop Wardley in the 11th round of their first meeting to claim the WBO heavyweight title. McGuigan analyzed both fighters' strengths and vulnerabilities ahead of their second bout scheduled for October 17.

According to McGuigan, Dubois possesses dense punching power and excellent fundamental footwork, but remains vulnerable due to a tendency to start slowly. Conversely, McGuigan highlighted Wardley's fast reflexes, lead-hand control, and unorthodox power, while warning that Wardley can become greedy, reckless, and surrender rounds as fatigue sets in during later stages.
