Six Fights to Four Belts: Dubois Maps His Undisputed Road, Starting With Wardley II

Ringcard check: ROUND 1 of 6, apparently. 🪧

REPORTED. WBO heavyweight champ Daniel Dubois has put a number on it. "I'm on a journey towards undisputed and I've got six fights," he told reporters, per The Ring. "That's what is in my head right now, within six fights. I'm not thinking about retirement, but it's six big fights and that's what I've got. You need goals in boxing and that's what I've got."

His hit list, per The Independent: "So six big fights, and that's six big, big fights. [Agit] Kabayel, all of these guys, mix it with all of them." And the tiebreaker: "No names, whoever's got the belt [and] brings me the most money."

Step one is Saturday, Oct 17, at London's O2 Arena: a rematch with Fabio Wardley, five months after Dubois got off the canvas twice to stop him in the 11th in Manchester on May 9. His fix, to The Ring: "No more slow starting. I'll get a good warmup and come out firing."

The belt map, per The Ring: Kabayel holds the WBC and Hrgovic the IBF. The WBA "super" title goes to the winner of Fury-Joshua on Dec 11 in Cardiff.
