  1. Wardley v Dubois

    A short and sweet response from Daniel Dubois: "The talking is done now. I'm ready for war."

  2. Wardley v Dubois

    Fabio Wardley on Daniel Dubois: "What am I facing? We'll find out on Saturday night. He does vary. Some performances he's done well. He didn't do well against Usyk. Once you've opened that door and shown that bit of your character, it leaves people like me to expose it."

  3. 'I'm ready'

    Wardley v Dubois

    Daniel Dubois says: "I'm ready to seek and destroy. I'm ready to turn up."

  8. 'I'm going to collect that trash'

    Wardley v Dubois

    Yesterday's news conference was a relatively uneventful but one of my highlights was this exchange between Daniel Dubois and Fabio Wardley...

    Dubois responded to Wardley calling him a dust man: "I'm going to collect that trash, boy.

    "I'm going to collect that trash, I'm going to collect that trash.

    "It's disrespect so I'm going to put it right in the ring. I heard what you said. I'm going to burst his bubble."

    Wardley actually used the words 'bin man' when he was asked in an interview what job he thought Dubois would do away from boxing.

  9. Wardley v Dubois

    We just got a glimpse of Daniel Dubois. He looks ready. In fact, he's already got his top off, ready to weigh in.

  10. How have they been this week?

    Fabio Wardley has looked relaxed throughout the week. Articulate, personable and popular within the sport, he appears completely at ease carrying the world title.

    He laughed his way through Thursday's news conference, even smiling as his and Dubois' teams traded words on stage. Nothing so far seems to have rattled him.

    Dubois, meanwhile, has appeared more agitated and withdrawn. At times he has just looked bored by the process. But don't forget, he looked similarly detached before facing Joshua - and we all know how that ended.

  11. Are you ready for The Cauldron?

    Wardley v Dubois

    Not only do we have the weigh-in but Daniel Dubois and Fabio Wardley will step into The Cauldron.

    Hosted by Simon Jordan, The Cauldron has been designed to give supporters a more intense and unpredictable build up to fight night.

    This was first done in the weigh-in for Deontay Wilder's win over Derek Chisora but was hosted by Diversity's Jordan Banjo.
