According to Daniel Dubois, Fabio Wardley falls into the latter category.

To be fair, things have fallen perfectly into place for the WBO heavyweight champion.

Last June at Portman Road, Wardley was down big on the scorecards (88-83, 89-82, 89-82) heading into the 10th round against Justis Huni. But just when he appeared to be out of answers, Wardley scored a clean one-punch knockout to save his homecoming.

In October, Wardley (20-0-1, 19 KOs) was down on the scorecards again heading into the final round (98-92, 96-95, 95-95), this time to Joseph Parker. But, like he always does, the Ipswich man found a way to score the upset as he stopped Parker in the 11th round to win the WBO interim belt, which was later elevated to a full title.

However, on May 9 at Co-op Live Arena in Manchester, Dubois believes Wardley’s luck will run out as the pair prepare to clash in an all-British heavyweight showdown dubbed "Don't Blink."

“He’s been lucky up until now,” Dubois said during “Face Off” on DAZN. “Now he needs to take his L. He hasn’t faced a fighter like me but full credit to him though. He’s come through everything that’s been put in front of him. It’s my time now. I’ve been through what I needed to. Been beat up, scars and all that. I’m experienced and ready to go.”

Dubois (22-3, 21 KOs) hasn't been in action since losing for a second time to Oleksandr Usyk last summer at Wembley Stadium.

That, undoubtedly, wasn’t his proudest moment. Prior to that, Dubois was on a hot streak as he knocked out Jarrell Miller, Filip Hrgovic, and Anthony Joshua.

On May 9, Dubois can’t wait to add Wardley’s name and title to his resume.

“I’ll win by any means necessary,” Dubois said. “Picking him a part, speed, skill, and power too much. Let’s have it.”
