“THINKS He’s Muhammad Ali!” Daniel Dubois vs Fabio Wardley In FACE-OFF Before Heavyweight Rematch
Piers Morgan UncensoredShow Notes
Daniel Dubois and Fabio Wardley are set to renew hostilities in London on Saturday night, as Dubois defends his WBO world heavyweight title in a highly anticipated rematch.
Their first meeting in Manchester in May delivered an explosive 11-round battle. Wardley made a sensational start, knocking Dubois down twice in the opening three rounds, including within the first 10 seconds. But Dubois recovered, turned the fight around and unleashed a sustained attack that forced the referee to stop the contest in the 11th round.
The victory saw Dubois become a two-time world heavyweight champion, while Wardley suffered the first defeat of his professional career.
Now, just five months on, the pair are preparing to face each other again, with Wardley determined to reclaim the title and Dubois looking to prove his victory was no fluke.
Ahead of one of the most hotly anticipated heavyweight rematches of the year, both fighters join us in the Uncensored studio to discuss what fans can expect when they step into the ring once more.

Donald Trump’s approval rating has fallen to its lowest point of either presidency, with barely 31 per cent of Americans believing he is doing a good job. With the US midterm elections just 13 days away, the president is facing mounting political pressure as wars in Ukraine and Iran threaten to define his administration.

But his diplomatic mission has raised eyebrows after Witkoff publicly praised Putin as a humanitarian, while Trump has once again placed the burden of ending the Ukraine war on Zelensky rather than the Russian leader who launched it. Meanwhile, Trump is blaming Ukraine for the cost of American support, as voters grow increasingly frustrated with high fuel prices and continued conflict. Yet the pressure on energy prices is also tied to the war involving Iran, where renewed US attacks on Tehran could follow the midterm elections. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has praised Trump’s leadership and declared that the two countries have a job to finish, fuelling concerns that the conflict could soon escalate again. As Trump attempts to contain the political fallout from two major wars, a fragile end to the fighting in Ukraine may be approaching. But the conflict with Iran could be entering a far more dangerous phase. Piers Morgan is joined by Alastair Campbell plus Trita Parsi, executive vice president of the Quincy Institute; Jim Hanson, chief strategist at the Middle East Forum; and Will Chamberlain, host of Counterweight. Plus, General Keith Kellogg, former US special envoy for Russia and Ukraine, joins the show to discuss the prospects for peace in Ukraine and the growing threat of renewed conflict with Iran.
The relationship between Washington and Kyiv is entering increasingly uncertain territory, as Donald Trump’s approach to Russia raises fresh questions about the future of the war in Ukraine. In an exclusive interview with Piers Morgan last week, President Zelensky offered a stark assessment of America’s shifting position, warning that his country risks losing the support of its most important ally.
The Western world is facing a period of unprecedented upheaval, as old alliances fracture, political divisions deepen and conflict continues to reshape the global order. From President Donald Trump’s shifting approach to Russia and Ukraine to growing unrest in France, the familiar rules of international politics appear to be breaking down.
