Fabio Wardley, the British heavyweight star, has disclosed that he has identified potential opponents for his anticipated world title fight, with Kubrat Pulev, Jarrell Miller, and Michael Hunter topping his shortlist. Wardley is currently slated for a WBA heavyweight title bout against Pulev but may first face a ranked contender, possibly including Miller, Hunter, or Jared Anderson.
Maintaining an impressive unbeaten record of 19 fights, Wardley solidified his position as the No. 1 contender in the WBA rankings after delivering a first-round knockout against Frazer Clarke in their rematch last October.
Wardley commented on the significance of the WBA regular title held by Pulev, noting its potential impact on a fighter’s career trajectory. “Kubrat Pulev is one of the names in the mix, and I feel ready to take on that world-level challenge,” Wardley stated. “I see myself as a world title contender now, and it’s time to prove it against another contender.”
A passionate Ipswich Town supporter, Wardley expressed hope that his next fight could take place at Portman Road, the club’s stadium. “The idea of fighting at Portman Road is a dream of mine,” he said. “There are many factors that need to align, such as the availability of the stadium and choosing the right opponent.”
Wardley remains optimistic about the potential for his fight to happen, emphasizing his readiness to compete at the highest level. “I believe I am a world title contender, and I’m committed to proving myself in the ring,” he affirmed.
