‘Danger man’ Wardley ‘1,000%’ wants Usyk next

Fabio Wardley, England’s top heavyweight boxer, calls him the “danger man” and has urged undisputed world champion Oleksandr Usyk to fight him next.

In the eleventh round of London’s O2 Arena on Saturday, Wardley, 30, stopped Joseph Parker from New Zealand.

The Ipswich fighter is currently the WBO’s top wrestler for the Usyk crown.

Wardley told BBC Sport, “1,000%, I don’t want any other name to come up next.”

The winner of Parker-Wardley must face Oleksandr Usyk, according to the WBO ruling, and I think he is true to his word.

Next year, a stadium fight in the UK has been in the cards, and Wardley anticipates negotiations to start soon.

“When and where is up to]Usyk”? In the end, Wardley described him as the “A side” of this.

“He can have it wherever he wants, by me.” Just let me know when, on a date, or where you are going, and I’ll see you there.

A genuine underdog story would accompany the fight, which would be one of the most unlikely heavyweight title fights to ever occur.

The pound-for-pound boxing star of the past is regarded as Generation X great Usyk, who has won all 24 professional matches. He was the reigning champion of cruiserweight at the Olympics and won two gold medals.

Wardley, however, only started boxing when he was 20. Without any amateur experience, he has had to learn on the job as a professional after entering the unlicensed white-collar world while working in recruitment.

“I’m currently the division’s danger man.” Everyone labels me as the one who undervalues me, Wardley continued.

Wardley, who has 19 stops and 20 victories, has a reputation that unbeaten him and has built on.

Wardley has defended the decision of referee Howard Foster, despite some who thought Parker’s bout was stopped prematurely.

He responded, “I believe it was entirely fair.” You must take precautions to protect yourself and demonstrate to the government that you are still fighting.

Wardley says his main goal right now is to become Britain’s first four-belt undisputed heavyweight world champion. However, he says he would take into account a rematch with the then-champion of the sport in the future.

Numerous of his fellow citizens are unable to take over Usyk. He has lost twice to him, along with Derek Chisora and Tony Bellew, while Anthony Joshua, Tyson Fury, and Daniel Dubois have also failed.

Wardley, who would come off as a heavy underdog, believes that Usyk might be irritated by his unpredictable, raw style.

The boxers who attempted were conventional, they said. They have boxing backgrounds that are very traditional, Wardley said.

“I’m unpredictable, man. I engage in behaviors that are not typical and could derail his performance.

If Usyk decides to quit his belt, Wardley may be upgraded from an interim wrestler to a full world champion.

Wardley claims he would prefer to win the ring against Usyk, even though he would still view himself as a legitimate world champion if that were to occur.

Before, the two had a ring. Wardley traveled to Kyiv in 2018 to spar the then-cruiserweight champion after receiving an “obscure Facebook message” from Team Usyk.

To be honest, I can recall being repeatedly punched up. He already had a lot of experience and a boxing IQ, Wardley recalls, and I was very new at the time.

However, he does not intend to simply make up the numbers after seven years.
