Let\u2019s gloss over some of them:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><strong>Winning Method<\/strong> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2013 one of the more <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">granular <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">options. <\/span><b>Bettors need to correctly identify both the winner and how the bout will settle<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. For example, Fabio Wardley by KO\/TKO\/Stoppage would require the defending champ to claim the W via one of those methods. There are a handful of options to choose from. Because the bet requires two correct picks, odds tend to be longer.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><strong>Winner &amp; Round<\/strong> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2013 similar bet, where the bettor needs to ide<\/span><b>ntify both the winning boxer and correctly guess the round interval, during which the fight should end<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. For example, Dubois in Rounds 7 &amp; 8 would require the challenger to KO or earn a stoppage win over Wardley in any of those two rounds.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><b>Fabio Wardley \u2013 \u2018The Ipswich Wrecking Machine\u2019 (20-0-1, 19 KOs)<\/b><\/h2>\n<h3><b>Origins &amp; Track Record<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fabio Wardley has one of the <\/span><b>most remarkable <\/b><b><i>rise-to-stardom <\/i><\/b><b>stories in modern British boxing<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. A former worker in recruitment, Wardley made his debut fight at the age of 20 and did so after only a handful of amateur bouts.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Since turning pro in 2017, the <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ipswich Wrecking Machine <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">never looked back. What makes his story so unique is that he has <\/span><b>landed a knockdown in every single one of his 20 pro victories<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and has earned 19 of those wins by KO. Astonishing to say the least.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Style &amp; Technique<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Boxing experts could never label Wardley as a traditional technician. He\u2019s a <\/span><b>pressure fighter with a great motor, a granite chin<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and a right hand that is capable of ending careers. Wardley\u2019s style is relentless and unapologetic. The Ipswich native likes to walk his opponents down, cutting off the ring.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wardley\u2019s best operations happen in mid-to-close range, where he can land heavy combos. While not a deadly one-punch artist per se, \u2018<\/span><b>The Ipswich Wrecking Machine\u2019 wears his foes down with sustained-fire type attacks<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. After accumulating enough damage, Wardley can capitalise on opportunities when others begin to wilt.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Late-Round Power<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Probably the most dangerous quality of the defending WBO heavyweight champ is <\/span><b>his ability to retain power in the later rounds<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Against Justis Huni, he was trailing on the scorecards heading into the 10<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">th<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> before a single right hand ended the contest.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Against Joseph Parker \u2013 a seasoned world-class operator that gave a decent bout vs Tyson Fury \u2013 Wardley was again outboxed. However, he didn\u2019t flinch and unloaded an 11th-round finish that made him a <\/span><b>genuine world-title threat<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Usyk\u2019s decision to vacate the WBO belt rather than face Wardley might be one of the indications about the respect his power commands.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Entering the Bout vs Dubois<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wardley will enter the May 9 event as the No. 1-ranked heavyweight by Ring magazine. At 31, he is seemingly at his peak, fighting with huge confidence. His trainer openly spoke about Wardley\u2019s willingness to engage in a firefight. Whether that bravado is tactical or genuine, you can expect \u2018The Ipswich Wrecking Machine\u2019 to try and back these claims up once he climbs through the ropes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Fabio Wardley \u2013 Last 5 Fights<\/b><\/h3>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><strong><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">Opponent<\/span><\/strong><\/td>\n<td><strong><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">Date<\/span><\/strong><\/td>\n<td><strong><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">Result<\/span><\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #ffffff;\">Joseph Parker<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #ffffff;\">October 2025<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><b>Win (TKO, R11)<\/b><\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #ffffff;\">Justis Huni<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #ffffff;\">June 2025<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><b>Win (KO, R10)<\/b><\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #ffffff;\">Frazer Clarke II<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #ffffff;\">October 2024<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><b>Win (TKO, R1)<\/b><\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #ffffff;\">Frazer Clarke I<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #ffffff;\">April 2024<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><b>Draw (SD)<\/b><\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #ffffff;\">David Adeleye<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #ffffff;\">October 2023<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><b>Win (TKO, R7)<\/b><\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><b>Daniel Dubois \u2013 \u2018Triple D\u2019 (22-3, 21 KOs)<\/b><\/h2>\n<h3><b>Origins &amp; Track Record<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Born into a boxing family and training from the age of 6, Dubois accumulated a very solid 69-6 amateur record. <\/span><b>He was a sensation in the junior categories<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> before turning pro. Whoever saw him box back then claimed that the man seemed destined for professional greatness.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As it turns out, those people were right, as DDD became one of the most explosive heavyweights in modern British boxing.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Style &amp; Technique<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">From a style and technique analysis standpoint, <\/span><b>Dubois remains one of the most dangerous pound-for-pound punchers <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">amongst all heavyweights. He stands 6 feet 5 inches with an 78-inch reach (identical to Wardley) and carries hands extremely well. All experts agree that one of his strongest weapons is the ability to leverage his jabs and right-hand attacks.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Prince Naseem Hamed noted ahead of this fight that <\/span><b>Dubois \u2018hits to the body very well\u2019.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Panels agree that this can even become a deciding factor.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Legacy<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While he has a 95% KO ratio heading in, <\/span><b>Dubois\u2019 legacy can\u2019t be separated from his two losses against the modern-day heavyweight GOAT \u2013 Oleksandr Usyk<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. In their first outing, Dubois had the undisputed champ on the canvas in the 5<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">th<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, until a controversial call ruled a low blow. Usyk recovered and won in R9.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In their second outing, which happened in July 2025, it was more of the same. Dubois had his moments, but Usyk ultimately proved to be too strong and overwhelmed the Englishman with one of the nastier left-hand KO victories in his career.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yet, sandwiched between those defeats came the performance of his career: a <\/span><b>5<\/b><b>th<\/b><b> round demolition of Anthony Joshua at Wembley Stadium<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in front of 90,000 people. That alone made him a household name in the boxing world.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Entering the Bout vs Wardley<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Experts and analytics agree that while the pair looks evenly matched, there are more question marks surrounding Dubois. <\/span><b>The main concern is how he reacts when hurt<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. While having an advantage in big fights over Wardley, Dubois has shown vulnerability (especially against Usyk) when he\u2019s on the receiving end of some serious power. With that being said, Triple D is reunited with head trainer Don Charles, a move that many view as a positive way to unlock his true potential.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Daniel Dubois \u2013 Last 5 Fights<\/b><\/h3>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><strong><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">Opponent<\/span><\/strong><\/td>\n<td><strong><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">Date<\/span><\/strong><\/td>\n<td><strong><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">Result<\/span><\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;

Key Facts Before the Fight<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Both the odds and the world of boxing seem to be closely and genuinely divided on this one, making <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Don\u2019t Blink <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2013 Wardley vs Dubois one of the most compelling matchups.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The consensus from most analysts is that the fight hinges on two key questions: can Wardley carry his brutal late-round power into the second half of the fight, and can Dubois avoid the kind of sustained accumulation that has caused him problems in the past? If this turns into a firefight early, however, the final answer may come without warning.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><b>How to Watch Wardley vs Dubois in the UK?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the United Kingdom, the \u2018Don\u2019t Blink\u2019 event of Wardley vs Dubois is exclusively available on DAZN as a PPV event. Existing DAZN Ultimate subscribers receive access as part of their plan at no additional cost. Check out DAZN\u2019s website for more detailed information.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The undercard should start around 7:00 PM BST, while the main event ring walks are expected around 10:00 PM.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><b>FAQ<\/b><\/h2>\n<h3><b>How Much Will the Fighters Earn from this Bout?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Official figures are not yet public. While Dubois earned around $71 million from his bout against Usyk last year, purses will likely be more modest on May 9. Still, reports suggest high-stakes numbers, probably well into seven figures, considering this is a title bout.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>What\u2018s on the Line on May 9?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fabio Wardley\u2019s WBO World Heavyweight Championship belt is. It will be his first title defence.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Has there been any Bad Blood Between Wardley and Dubois?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yes \u2014 in fact, Dubois has publicly refused to shake hands with Wardley at promotional events ahead of the fight, suggesting the atmosphere between these two British rivals is genuinely icy.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>What Happens to the Winner After May 9?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Oleksandr Usyk has made it public that he intends to watch this spectacle with great interest. There will be a prospect of a future unification bout, no doubt. However, Agit Kabayel, the mandatory WBO challenger, is also waiting in the wings, so there\u2019s a lot to play for and fight for.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em><strong><span style=\"color: #18ae62;\">Betting is only available to participants above 18 years.
