Daniel Dubois to Win In Rounds 7-12 (+160)
This fight features two of the sport’s top knockout artists: Dubois has 22 knockouts, and Wardley has 19 wins by knockout. Wardley, 31, is 20-1-1 and scored three straight knockouts before suffering his first loss to Dubois. His latest victory came against Joseph Parker in October 2025. Since December 2023, Dubois has gone 4-1 in his previous five bouts, with his lone loss coming against former Undisputed Heavyweight Champion Oleksandr Usyk.
On DraftKings Sportsbook, Dubois is the favorite at -350 with Wardley at +260. This fight has an over/under of 7.5 rounds with both being -115. Dubois is also -185 to win by KO/TKO/DQ, while Wardley is +330 to win by knockout. Both fighters are the same height (6’5″) and have the same standing reach (78″).
In their first matchup, Dubois landed 179 total punches, 82 more than Wardley. Dubois landed 45.8 percent of his punches, while Wardley connected on only 27.1 percent. Dubois landed 47 more power punches than Wardley, which was a big difference-maker in their first fight. Wardley will likely come out more aggressive in this fight as he’s coming off his first loss. Although Dubois has two more career losses, he proved that his skills are on a different level. I see their second fight playing out like the first, with Dubois picking apart Wardley through the first few rounds before scoring the finish. With three of Dubois’ four victories coming in the final six rounds, I’m taking him to win in rounds 7-12 at +160.
