“Won’t Be Happening Anytime Soon”
“There’s a rematch clause, but I don’t think that’ll be happening anytime soon,” Warren said to talkSport Boxing.
“They’re going to need to be out of the ring for a bit while yet. Probably six months a minimum of.”
The veteran promoter praised each fighters afterward and described the fight as among the finest heavyweight battles he has promoted.
“One Of The Best”
“It was just amazing. It was among the finest shows I’ve ever placed on,” Warren said.
Warren also defended Dubois against criticism that has followed him throughout parts of his profession.
“I never need to hear anybody discuss Daniel’s heart ever again. He gritted his teeth tonight and showed what he can do,” Warren said.
The fight featured multiple momentum swings, knockdowns, and sustained punishment from each heavyweights before Dubois finally stopped Wardley late.
Heavyweight Roadmap
Although Warren cooled immediate rematch talk, he suggested Dubois’ next move will depend heavily on how the heavyweight division develops through the coming months.
“There are quite just a few heavyweight fights happening in the subsequent few months, and that may determine where we go,” Warren said.
Dubois regained a heavyweight world title with the victory, while Wardley suffered the primary lack of his skilled profession after one in every of the hardest fights either man has experienced.
Several heavyweight contenders, including WBO mandatory challenger Moses Itauma, are expected to return this summer, potentially reshaping the title picture around Dubois soon.
