Fabio Wardley is riding high after a dominant first-round stoppage win over Frazer Clarke, and now Frank Warren has teased that something big is on the horizon for the British heavyweight champion.
Wardley, now 18-0-1, has built a reputation as one of the most exciting fighters in the UK’s heavyweight scene recently. His two recent battles with Clarke saw him first go the distance in a hard-fought draw before leaving no doubt in their rematch, stopping the Olympic bronze medallist in just one round. Prior to that, he had stopped David Adeleye in a thrilling grudge match on the Fury-Ngannou undercard.
Speaking about what’s next, Warren remained tight-lipped but promised that Wardley’s next fight would be “extra special’ adding that “Fabio is the man and deserves this next big fight.”
Warren concluded, “You wait until we announce Fabio’s next fight. I’m telling you, you are going to love it.”
Wardley has made no secret of the fact he’d like to fight at Portman Road Stadium, the home of Ipswich Town, and this may well come to fruition.
Fabio Wardley’s Next Opponent
The potential opponents for Wardley are unclear, though the domestic heavyweight scene is packed with interesting options.
With the WBA ranking Wardley as the Number 1 heavyweight contender, there is a whole crop of elite talent that Wardley may step up to face, including the likes of seasoned veteran Kubrat Pulev for the WBA Regular belt, or fellow top 3 contender Michael Hunter.
Whatever the case, Wardley is proving himself as one of Britain’s most exciting heavyweights, and if Warren’s words are anything to go by, his next fight will only add to that reputation.
