Daniel Dubois and Fabio Wardley meet again at The O2 in London on Saturday 17 October 2026, with arena doors confirmed for 16:00. The precise main-event ring-walk time has not yet been published by The O2, so boxing fans should treat any timings circulating elsewhere as provisional until the final running order is confirmed.
The heavyweight rematch is being billed by The O2 as a Heavyweight World Championship event. Tickets remain on sale through the venue's official ticketing partner AXS, while anyone travelling to Greenwich should allow additional time for security checks and the heavy event-day crowds around North Greenwich. The fight also falls during a weekend with planned transport changes elsewhere in London. Supporters crossing the capital should check LCM's London Tube and Train Closures guide for 17–18 October before travelling.

What time are the Dubois vs Wardley ring walks?
There is no confirmed Dubois vs Wardley ring-walk time yet. The 16:00 time published by The O2 is the arena door time, not the main-event start time. That distinction matters for anyone searching for “what time is Dubois vs Wardley?” on Saturday. Boxing running orders can move depending on the length of earlier bouts, so an exact main-event time should not be presented as confirmed until the promoter or venue publishes the final schedule. LCM will update this guide once the final running order and expected ring-walk window are confirmed.
Dubois vs Wardley tickets
Tickets are currently listed as on sale. The O2 directs customers to AXS, its official ticketing partner, for standard ticket purchases. Fans buying through The O2 or AXS will need to display their ticket on a phone through The O2 app using AXS Mobile ID. The venue also warns that resale tickets bought through websites other than The O2 or AXS may not be valid. AXS Official Resale is available for customers buying or reselling eligible tickets.
How to get to The O2 for Dubois vs Wardley
North Greenwich is the nearest Underground station to The O2 and is served by the Jubilee line. From the station, the arena entrance is immediately within the Greenwich Peninsula complex. The venue address is The O2, Peninsula Square, London SE10 0DX. Public transport is normally the easiest option for major arena events, particularly when a large crowd is leaving at the same time after the main event. Fans travelling from central London should check the TfL network status before setting out. Journey conditions can change on the day even when no closure is scheduled in advance.
Parking at The O2
Drivers attending the boxing should use Car Park 1, which The O2 designates for arena and indigo event parking. The venue recommends pre-booking because event parking can fill. The O2 currently lists standard pre-booked arena-event car parking at £35.28, with an early-booking tariff of £29.39 where available. If spaces remain, the current on-the-day car rate is £40. Parking prices and availability should be checked again when booking because tariffs can change.
Drivers should also allow additional journey time. The O2 currently warns that major roadworks in the surrounding area are affecting traffic flow, with delays particularly likely after events when thousands of spectators leave the Greenwich Peninsula together. A free drop-off and pick-up point is available in Car Park 1 off Millennium Way. Anyone being collected after the boxing should expect congestion around the site as the arena empties.
The O2 bag policy for the boxing
The O2 allows one bag per person no larger than A4 size. Standard handbags within that size are permitted, but backpacks, travel cases, laptop bags, camera bags and large tote bags are not allowed inside the arena. Visitors who arrive with a larger bag can use the storage facility outside the main entrance. The current charge is £10 per bag, and bags are searched and screened before being accepted. For a busy sporting event, travelling without a bag where possible will make entry simpler. The venue advises visitors to arrive with enough time to pass through security checks before taking their seats.
Can you take food or drink into The O2?
Food and drink purchased outside the arena cannot normally be brought inside. The O2 does allow an empty crushable bottle through security, which can then be refilled at bars or the arena's water stations. The O2 arena is also a cashless venue, so spectators should bring a bank card or contactless payment method for food and drink purchases.
Getting home after the boxing
North Greenwich will carry a large proportion of the post-fight crowd, so spectators should expect queues and managed access to the Jubilee line once the arena empties. Anyone with an onward National Rail connection should check the last part of the journey before entering the arena rather than waiting until the main event finishes. Planned weekend engineering work affects several London routes on 17–18 October, although the exact impact depends on where spectators are travelling. The wider weekend picture is covered in LCM's London Tube and Train Closures guide.
