The interim WBA world champion in the heavyweight division, Fabio Wardley, believes that a victory in the upcoming fight against Joseph Parker will give him a chance to fight Alexander Usyk.
“I think somehow my coach and I were driving in the car from training and had a strange conversation. We almost stopped to think for a second. We had a surreal moment, like, what the heck? We started this journey 10 years ago, and I could be one punch away from a fight with Usyk for the title of undisputed world champion. What is happening? How did we get here?
It encourages me a bit, but I also don’t lose focus because I have a big challenge ahead of me. It’s great, it’s a fantastic pot of gold, but at the same time I will be fighting a very dangerous guy,” Wardley said.
Let’s remind that the fight Parker - Wardley will take place on October 25 at the O2 Arena in London.
