He’ll enter the next fight as the less favored contender, yet he will continue to have public backing,” Nelson remarked during the Boxing King Media podcast.
“My genuine belief is that Fabio possesses further capacity for refinement, while Daniel has reached his peak in that sense. Daniel’s scope is for broader development, gaining mature insight and extensive experience. Fabio, however, has greater untapped potential for enhancement.”
“Fabio’s mental approach is to state, ‘I want to confront you once more, immediately.’ I applaud him for that. I truly applaud him.”
Nelson additionally perceived that Wardley’s showing garnered excessive attention, overshadowing Dubois’s achievements subsequent to his win.
“I genuinely sympathize with Daniel, as the conversation is entirely focused on Fabio. We highlight his exceptional performance and bravery, yet we overlook Daniel Dubois and his accomplishments.”

“He competed with passion, courage, and a quality that most individuals could never even conceive,” Nelson stated.
Wardley’s choice to initiate the rematch option occurred swiftly after his defeat by Dubois, prompting certain spectators to wonder if he would proceed directly into another contest following such significant blows.
