‘You cannot keep fighting gung-ho like that’: Daniel Dubois’ trainer warns Fabio Wardley is risking his boxing future – and says team put his health at risk by letting him battle on in first bout

Daniel Dubois' trainer Don Charles has claimed that Fabio Wardley's corner let him down by allowing their brutal first encounter to continue into the 11th round. Charles warned that Wardley's aggressive style risks shortening his career and argued that the physical punishment the Ipswich fighter absorbed last May in Manchester is already taking a cumulative toll ahead of their scheduled rematch this Saturday.

While Wardley has defended his corner's decisions and maintained complete trust in his team, Charles stated that Dubois will bring a more disciplined, technical approach to the return bout. Charles noted that Dubois has prepared for a prolonged battle but remains capable of stopping the contest early by exploiting the wear and tear from their first fight.
