Can you watch Dubois v Wardley 2 for free? BBC coverage explained

Forget about Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua; this weekend sees two British heavyweights collide at the O2 Arena with the WBO world heavyweight title on the line.

The pair tore strips off each other across a topsy-turvy 11-round bout, which saw both men spend time on the canvas, before Dubois took the win, and the belt, via TKO.

Wardley's response to a first career defeat was to trigger the rematch clause, much to the excitement of the British boxing public.

This isn't about the money. This is about two fierce competitors with a point to prove and an opportunity to establish themselves in a heavyweight division in flux.
