This is Five Live Boxing.
We're greedy
people in
the
boxing business.
And not content with having two world heavyweight title fights so far this year in Britain involving British boxers, including last weekend Moses Etama, we've got a third one. Daniel Dubois against Fabio Wardley. It's the rematch of what so far has been the fight of the year. I'm Steve Bunns and this is Five Live Boxing. We will hear from the two uh fighters for what's been billed the fight of the year returns, which I I quite like. And with the promoter Frank Wall. Now Frank, before we talk about Fabio and Daniel and hear from them, I've got to ask you obviously about Saturday night, Moses at Armour. And I'll up in the ring afterwards I I'll talk to you about him when you make contact. Have you spoken to Moses?
Yeah, I've spoken to him a few times. He's away now. having a well-earned break and I said to him You know, just put it out your mind and when you come back Then we can sit down and have the inquest or whatever you want to call it with a team and go for it with cool heads. Mm. You know, it's all everyone's emotional at the moment. Every everyone's got something to say. People have got nothing to do with it because. Ew
everyone knew everything.
Everyone who's crying out for him to get in the ring with someone who's durable, you know.
Now screaming saying you've overmatched it. How did he seem when you spoke to him?
He's down. He's down, obviously. I'm pleased to know
that, yeah.
Yeah, he's down and you'd expect him to be. He wants a rematch, you know, all the all the all the things I'd expect him to say, but Uh. What happened was wasn't the plan. But for me, I look at it and I think to myself There's you've got to look for the I know what's got to be addressed. I'm not stupid, I've been around long enough. And I know what I see, which was addressed.
Yeah.
What is the preview and hype for the Dubois vs Wardley II rematch?
He showed he's got a good chin. A very good chin. He showed he's got a great heart. I mean, even that last round, it was what was he, eight rounds up on the cards. That last round, even when he was getting caught, he was firing back he was trying to fire him back. Twenty
seconds for the end.
Yeah. It was so it was what it was and And it was like the first bell went, he got in the car, put his foot on the accelerator, put it into overdrive and just kept his foot down. And that's what he did. Exactly. He didn't he did he didn't there was no sort of watch out for the speed bumps, let's slow down. Let's have a breather, let's take it yeah and all that. He just got he went a hundred miles an hour. It's about fight management and it's about using your your attributes. He's he's got great speed, he's got great coordination, I mean he's very he's very fast, but He did he he he he based he was gassing out and that eighth round which he threw so many punches in that eighth round and I said to him funny you know a few weeks before the fight I said listen you're gonna come up against some guys who are not gonna go over and it's gonna be a 12 round and he was determined to stop him which was his underground.
In his head
he wanted to stop it and I can't. And
I kept going to the corner saying, just slow down, get behind the jab. Just I said if you jab, just keep him on the back foot and you negate a lot what he does anyway, but he i it it wasn't to be.
