Fabio Wardley is finalising terms for a WBO heavyweight title defence against Daniel Dubois on May 9.

WBO champion Wardley will make the first defence of his belt against Dubois in a big all-British battle at a venue in the UK, which is yet to be confirmed.

Wardley was crowned as the new WBO title holder after Oleksandr Usyk relinquished the belt instead of making a mandatory title defence against the unbeaten Brit.
