The bout is set for Saturday at Manchester's Co-op Live Arena, nearing a 23,500-seat sellout, with Wardley 20-0-1 and Dubois 22-3.
Wardley makes a first defence after stopping Joseph Parker and previously winning the interim WBA belt, while Dubois seeks to rebuild after losing his IBF title to Oleksandr Usyk.
The fight is seen as pivotal for both Britons' rankings, with the winner potentially moving closer to another world-title shot in a heavyweight division led by Usyk.
Will Daniel Dubois’s raw power shatter predictions and expose a flaw in Fabio Wardley’s supposedly unbreakable chin tonight?
Beyond the belt, is tonight's winner truly ready to challenge the division's king, Oleksandr Usyk, for heavyweight supremacy?
