Several undercard fights have been announced for the WBO heavyweight title battle between Fabio Wardley and Daniel Dubois.

The event takes place at Co-Op Live in Manchester on May 9, with the headline attraction seeing Wardley defend his WBO heavyweight title for the first time against domestic rival Dubois.

Wardley became world champion after being elevated from interim status in December, and he will be looking to continue the form that saw him claim stoppage victories over Joseph Parker and Justis Huni last year.

As for Dubois, he is attempting to earn world honours once again after losing his IBF title to Oleksandr Usyk in July 2025, though he famously secured a knockout win against Anthony Joshua at Wembley Stadium in September 2024.

Usyk is likely to be an interested spectator for the Wardley vs. Dubois showdown, after revealing his intentions to potentially take on the winner in the near future, though for now the British duo will firmly have their sights set on one another.

More fights for the card in May have been revealed, with the most notable seeing American heavyweight Jared Anderson compete for the first time since signing with Queensberry, making his UK debut when he meets former English champion Solomon Dacres.

Elsewhere, unbeaten hopeful Jack Rafferty is set to move up a division and face Ekow Essuman in a welterweight contest, while Liam Cameron and former European champion Brad Rea meet in a light heavyweight bout.

Rounding up the list of fights announced, unbeaten Khaleel Majid faces ex-British and Commonwealth lightweight champion Gavin Gwynne.
