Fabio Wardley to offer Tyson Fury a shot at his WBO world heavyweight championship if he retains against Daniel Dubois

Fabio Wardley has called for a heavyweight showdown with Tyson Fury before the end of the year, as long as he makes a successful defence of the WBO world championship against Daniel Dubois.

Wardley is putting his heavyweight crown on the line against Dubois, the former IBF champion who handed Anthony Joshua a devastating knockout defeat in 2024.

Wardley and Dubois will box on May 9 in Manchester, while after a year's retirement Tyson Fury will return on April 11 to fight Aslanbek Makhmudov at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Victory could lead Wardley to a fight with Fury, the former two-time heavyweight world champion and still one of the biggest stars in the sport.
