According to Mackenzie, despite his affection for Dubois, he does not see any chances for "Dynamite" in this confrontation.
"I like Daniel Dubois, but that doesn't mean I can't express an impartial professional opinion. In my opinion, he will not beat Wardley. Respect must be shown to Fabio. This will not be a warm-up or recovery fight for Dubois. This is a full-fledged championship match. Daniel's team should respect Wardley — he has rightfully become the world champion," Mackenzie stated in an interview.
"The belt gives you this advancement," Duke noted, recalling that Wardley, in a tough, back-and-forth fight, confidently dealt with Joseph Parker, inflicting serious damage on the New Zealander and securing the victory.
"This is what Wardley does — he finishes his work," Mackenzie concluded.
The Wardley — Dubois fight is officially scheduled for May 9th in Manchester.
