Oleksandr Usyk sums up Fabio Wardley’s performance against Daniel Dubois

Daniel Dubois became a two-time world heavyweight champion by stopping Fabio Wardley in the 11th round at the Co-Op Live in Manchester earlier in May 2026, recovering from two early knockdowns to claim the WBO heavyweight title. Wardley had been making the first defence of the belt he won after Usyk vacated it, having previously beaten Justis Huni and Joseph Parker in 2025. Oleksandr Usyk commented on the fight via DAZN Boxing, criticising Wardley for failing to use his jab and expressing health concerns for both fighters after what he described as a 'street fight.'
