Picks, Best Bets for Fabio Wardley vs. Daniel Dubois

Published:

By: Ryan Wohl

Fabio Wardley defends his WBO Heavyweight title against former IBF Champion Daniel Dubois in the Main Event of today’s boxing card at the Co-op Live Arena in Manchester, United Kingdom.

Check out my best bets for today’s Queensbury boxing card below.

Daniel Dubois Moneyline (-105)

Dubois is coming off a knockout loss to Oleksandr Usyk, but before that, he won three consecutive fights over high-level competition. Wardley is 20-0-1 with 19 knockouts and is coming off a big knockout against Joseph Parker. Both fighters in this contest are 6’5″ with the same standing reach (78″).

On DraftKings Sportsbook, Wardley is a slight -115 favorite with Dubois being -105. Even though Wardley has never suffered a loss in his career, I favor Dubois in this contest due to his big fight experience. Each time Dubois has lost, he has responded well in the following fight.

Jack Rafferty by KO/TKO/DQ (+135)

After having a majority draw against Mark Chamberlain in August 2025, Jack Rafferty looks to get back in the win column against Ekow Essuman. Essuman, 37, is older by seven years and enters this bout with a 22-2 record. He suffered a loss via TKO against Jack Catterall in his previous fight in November 2025.

Rafferty is the favorite in this contest at -300 while Essuman is a +225 underdog. Before having a draw in his last bout, Rafferty scored six straight wins by KO/TKO/DQ from September 2023 to April 2025. If Rafferty pressures Essuman while having a high volume of punches, he should be able to pick up a finish in this contest.
