Wardley: "I am most interested in a fight with Usyk"

Dmitriy Kel Jan. 8, 2026, 11:18 a.m.

WBO heavyweight champion Fabio Wardley stated that he wants to fight Tyson Fury or Dereck Chisora if he doesn't get a chance to unify with WBA, WBC, and IBF titleholder Oleksandr Usyk.

"I would love to fight Fury. It would be a fight I very much welcome. Call me anytime.

I am most interested in a fight with Oleksandr Usyk. I know he is flirting with a fight against Deontay Wilder, so maybe not now. The next best option for me is Tyson Fury. He has a huge name, he is a big character in boxing. I would gladly share the ring with him.

Dereck Chisora? We are in wide negotiations, wide conversations. I know fans would love this matchup. I know Chisora wants to end his career loudly. Certainly, he has fought 49 fights and wants to finish with a big 50th bout. Perhaps, a title fight is the best way to do it," said Wardley.
