South Korea vs Czechia — KG Var/Yok (Dünya Kupası 🏆)
Breaking news from the world of sport: Cinderella, the introvert and Warren's split loyalties Figure caption, Boxers, Frank Warren and trainers break down Wardley v DuboisByFrank WarrenQueensberry PromotionsPublished3 minutes agoI promote both Fabio Wardley and Daniel Dubois, and I'll be honest - I find it difficult. On Saturday night in a heavyweight world title fight, I am basically in both corners. They are very nice guys who I like and I have stories with them both.
Showing my emotions will be difficult but we're in professional boxing and the best around will fight the best. I'll go into both dressing rooms before the fight and the messaging will be the same, wishing them the best of luck. There is every chance that the fight will end with one man on the canvas and, after then, my priority will be to console the loser first - I can't be jumping around celebrating.
Match Details
I don't really want anyone to lose but there is always a winner and a loser. Daniel has been with us from day one. We were sponsoring him when he was 17 and he signed with us when he was 18 and old enough to turn professional.
So I've obviously got quite an affinity with him. We've had a couple of hiccups on the way. But his resume is unbelievable for such a young heavyweight.
With Fabio, it really is a Cinderella story. Could you imagine this guy with no amateur experience coming to you, wanting to sign with you, and that guy would be a heavyweight world champion in his 21st fight? You'd say forget about that, that's an impossibility, but that's what he's done.
Reactions and Expectations
This isn't the first time I've put two of my own top fighters in against each other. I can look back at Steve Collins fighting Nigel Benn. I made Joe Calzaghe against Robin Reid and when Joe fought Chris Eubank.
Like them, Daniel and Fabio wanted this fight. It will be a shootout from the first bell, a heavyweight version of Marvin Hagler v Tommy Hearns. You will not be able to take your eyes away from it.

The story has climbed to the top of the sports agenda, with fans and analysts following closely.
