In this episode

Two knockdowns. One comeback. And a champion insisting his challenger cannot punch. Dubois–Wardley 2 leads this edition, followed by the other announcements and interviews selected for our 14 October 2026 briefing.

This episode records what was known on that date. Confirmed events, a signing, an agreement awaiting a date and fighters’ own statements are labelled separately. The companion reports were added to the website on 17 October.

Original interviews retain their own audio. Older fight footage provides context, with the bouts identified on screen. The thumbnail combines separate Dubois and Wardley portraits; it does not depict a shared interview.
