In the main event of the evening, WBO heavyweight champion Daniel Dubois defends his belt in a rematch against former titlist Fabio Wardley.

Dubois (23-3, 22 KO) formerly held the IBF heavyweight title from 2024 to 2025. He made one successful defense of the belt, knocking out Anthony Joshua at Wembley Stadium in September 2024. The Briton lost his title to Oleksandr Usyk in July 2025 when the two men clashed for the undisputed heavyweight championship.
Wardley (20-1-1, 19 KO) came from behind on the scorecards to stop Justis Huni in June 2025 and win the WBA interim title. The Brit found himself behind on the scorecards once again when he fought Joseph Parker for the WBO interim belt in October 2025, but produced another dramatic turnaround. Wardley was promoted to full champion after Oleksandr Usyk vacated the belt.

Michael Gomez Jr.’s performance so far has been great. He looks much bigger and stronger and the pressure was very effective throughout four rounds. O’Doherty was injured at least several times during this fight, both in the head and body.
Darshan Desai
Decent uppercut for O’Doherty. Gomez lands a left to the body. They trade shots inside – this will suit Gomez just fine. He certainly seems to connect with the harder shots. Nice body shots from Gomez and the uppercut next, which lifts the chin. Lovely straight from Gomez. The pressure is really choking O’Doherty now as the blows rain down.
10-9, 30-27 Gomez
Darshan Desai
O’Doherty’s head is knocked back by a blow. Nice straight from Gomez – and again – and a third. Gomez is just running through O’Doherty so far. Nice one-two from Gomez and he then looks for the uppercut. Gomez’s pressure was very effective. Now to the body goes Gomez. O’Doherty does a slightly better job of slowing Gomez’s pressure. But Gomez appears to be in control as rights hit O’Doherty’s chin.
10-9, 20-18 Gomez
Darshan Desai
O’Doherty starts the opening match behind his jab. Gomez comes right out, looking to put pressure on the British champion. Body shots and uppercuts from Gomez inside. They exchange blows. Gomez had no problem fending off O’Doherty and imposing his physicality. Lovely straight from Gomez reverses the head, and another follows. Nice one-two from Gomez. Gomez has a lot of success fending off O’Doherty. He works at a frenetic pace and makes O’Doherty work very hard to hold him back. O’Doherty accompanies Gomez on the right.
10-9 Gomez

Nice short right hand. DOWN GO GARBER! The towel goes in, but the referee takes it out of the ring. Another right from Olaniyan and another knockdown. Garber gets up, but this time the referee stops him!
Darshan Desai
Olaniyan starts proceedings with a right body shot. He attacks Garber directly and is clearly aiming for a quick finish. With this referee, a stoppage shouldn’t be too difficult to get. Olaniyan prepares his shots. Nice body work from Olaniyan in the second minute. A combination upstairs from Olaniyan. Olaniyan has made a constant investment in his body. A STRONG right from Olaniyan to complete the opener.
10-9 Olaniyan
Darshan Desai
We have the heavyweights again as prospect Adam Olaniyan (4-0, 4 KOs) looks to extend his perfect knockout streak to win against Dan Garber (14-9, 2 KOs).

Bakhodir Jalolov remains undefeated. He beats Solomon Dacres by unanimous decision (99-91, 99-90×2).
Darshan Desai
This isn’t the performance that’s going to earn him a big fight or entice viewers to watch him again. Jalolov is clearly a level or two above Dacres, but he didn’t bother to show it after the first or second round, when he was dominating and hurting the Englishman.
Final score: 99-90 Jalolov

On lap 8 you could hear a pin drop at the O2.
Now, a left from Jalolov just before halfway, but it’s one and done.
Another dominant round from Jalolov.
10-9, 80-71 Jalolov
Darshan Desai
A jab to the left finds the Uzbek’s target. Let’s be clear: this has been a terrible watch, but Jalolov – and to his credit – has been dominant. Jalolov doesn’t seem to have much to play for other than left hands up the middle and Dacres’ walk into the southpaw’s right hook. Not a lot of combo punches.
10-9, 70-62 Jalolov
Darshan Desai
Darshan Desai
HUGE left hand from Jalolov. DESCENDANT OF THE DACRES! He gets up at the count of eight, but he is injured. Another left lands. Jalolov continues to look for this left. Good right arm from Dacres now. He eats another one on the left, does Dacres. His nose is bloody.
10-8, 50-44 Jalolov
Darshan Desai
BEAUTIFUL right hand for Dacres. He achieved this twice in this fight. The feeling is, for me at least, that the longer this fight goes on, the better it suits Dacres. A left uppercut connects for Jalolov. They trade backhands. The Uzbek finds a place for a short left in the last minute. Now it goes to the body.
10-9 Jalolov, 40-36 Jalolov
Darshan Desai
Jalolov connects with a southpaw. He finds a home for two other left-handed lefties. Jalolov has outscored Dacres 19-1 in punches thus far. Well straight from Dacres now. The first hit of consequence – or really at all – he landed. Nice control hook from Jalolov to end the third.
10-9, 30-27 Jalolov
Darshan Desai
A long double is not enough for the Uzbek giant. Nice hook countertop; Jalolov walked Dacres, then two left hands to the middle. It’s really one-sided. Not much happens in this round. Jalolov sealed it in the first minute or so, and that was it. It’s still good to end the session.
10-9, 20-18 Jalolov
