Fabio Wardley provided more convincing evidence of his impact power to knock off Justis Huni in round 10, when on Saturday he lost the fight in front of his home fans in Ipswich, England.
Huni dominated the fight until Wardley (19-0-1, 18 KO) landed with a huge right hand to the jaw, which left the Australian apartment on his back, so that the thrill of emotions about 20,000 Wardley fans at the Portman Stadium Stadium Stadium Stadium stadium stadium. Despite the fact that he was behind the results cards and looking for a defeat, Wardley created a dynamite finish he needed to take a large step towards challenges for the world heavyweight title in 2026.
Huni (12-1, 7 KO) looked like he won points when his blows turned out to be too acute and educated for Wardley. But one blow changed everything after 1.42 seconds in round 10.
Oleksandr Usyk, WBC, WBA and WBO World Heavyweight Champion will face the title of IBF Daniel Dubois to decide on the undisputed master at the Wembley stadium in London, July 19, and Wardley, after one impact, there is now one fight in the world, probably in the world, probably in 2026. Victory was PiS Pister mandatory, but he may be one of the winners from the world that is in the world. Bulgarian veteran Kubrat Pulev and Michael Hunter from the United States before he received the first shot from the world.
“I am not saying that I am a utym or huni with all skills, but I know how to dig deeply, dig a rubber shield and get this result,” Wardley said.
“I should have been better in some of these rounds, and sometimes you have to find something else to win. We won. He is a great warrior, but I found a way.”
Huni said: “Turning off only a second and it happened.”
Wardley hopes that he will become another biggest thing in his hometown of Ipswich after the musician Ed Sheeran and Ipswich Town, the football team fell from the English Premier League last month and, unlike the football team, is upstairs.
Wardley’s creation to the heavyweight elite was speedy. After only four amateur duels, he left his work as a recruitment consultant in the health and social care sector to focus on his boxing career in 2017. Wardley had only four boxing boxers as a beginner amateur before he changed the professional, but was on the brink of a world title.
Wardley, who had a tiny spell in the youth team in Ipswich Town as a teenager, began fighting as a chapter No. 1 WBA behind Pulev after two fights with the English rival Clarke’s phraseer, he raised his career to a modern level last year. Their first fight ended with a draw of points after a brutal meeting, which made Wardley on the ice cream diet a week later, because his jaw hurts so much. But in the rematch in October, Wardley sent Clarke to a round with a broken jaw and a broken cheekbone.
During the second subsequent fight, Six Five Wardley, whose partner is to give birth next week, showed what a perilous blow. Then his promoter Frank Warren compared him to the former WBC DEONTAY WILDER master.
Unlike Wardley, Huni for six feet of four, he had an outstanding amateur career, which made him win the bronze medal at the 2019 World Championships, but his professional career was snail-paced until she gathered last year.
26 -year -old Huni from Brisbane showed that boxing in the authoritative first round, but Wardley was better in the second round behind his stab.
The Australian gathered a few neat combinations in round 3, before Wardley began the fourth aggressively, but the Englishman was not able to maintain the pace.
Huni’s highest experience, built mainly from his amateur career, became really observable in the first half of the fight, and the Australian was too charming for a family hero. In round 5 Huni has repeatedly landed high -quality shots from close range, including the left hook at the end of the round.
The British and master Commonwealth Wardley, whose manager is the title for the title, Dillian Whyte and who paired Usyk, was too half the way, when Huni’s blows turned out to be too acute that the native of Ipswich could avoid.
Huni landed brilliantly in sixth place, when he became dominant more and more often. In the 7th round, Wardley looked temporarily concerned about the stab when Huni increased his advantage.
Wardley was on the rear foot in round 8, when Huni landed in the left, which made Wardley chased to win.
And he delivered him, dusking a tiny right hand in round 10, which caused Huni to crash on his back and count.
Wardley may not have the same amateur pedigree and boxing education as others, but he again showed the power that brings him to the title of the world.
Oleksandr Usyk has shared his reaction to Anthony Joshua‘s dramatic knockout victory against Kristian Prenga.
Usyk nearly suffered his own shock defeat in May when he was pushed to the limit by kickboxing star Rico Verhoevenand two months on it was nrw teammate Joshua’s turn to come close to a massive upset loss that would have stunned the heavyweight division.
The Brit was dropped twice by massive underdog Prenga in the opening round of their clash in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia on Saturday, but ‘AJ’ managed to recover and record a big knockdown of his own in the second round that resulted in the stoppage victory.
Joshua and Usyk now train together, having famously had two battles for the unified world heavyweight title in 2021 and 2022, and the Ukrainian has had his say on his stablemate’s victory over Prenga.
Speaking to TalkSporttwo-time undisputed champion Usyk praised Joshua, insisting ‘AJ is back’ before predicting that Joshua will now claim a knockout win over long-term rival Tyson Fury in his next bout.
“Anthony Joshua is next undisputed champion. First round it’s a test but AJ is back.
It’s boxing, [the] big upper cut is good, it’s a knockdown. AJ [come] back and win.
“Greedy Belly [Fury] will speak now and say weak chin, Greedy Belly get out. AJ wins [against Fury], [he will] knock him out.”
Fury was victorious on Friday as he earned a seventh round retirement win against Mariusz Wach in Thailand, paving the way for the showdown against Joshua later this year.
Jake Paul was the last man to fight Anthony Joshua and he has now revealed his verdict on AJ’s chaotic victory over Kristian Prenga.
Joshua went up against Prenga in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia on Saturdayin a clash that was expected to be a comfortable win for the former world heavyweight champion in order to set up the long overdue battle against Tyson Fury.
Any hopes of seeing that clash were nearly ended after AJ was dropped twice in the opening round of the bout, though he was able to recover and claim the second round knockout to come out on top and prevent a stunning shock upset from taking place.
Saturday’s outing saw Joshua back in the ring for the first time since his sixth round triumph over YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul back in Decemberand now ‘The Problem Child’ himself has shared his reaction to his former rival’s victory over Prenga.
Posting on social mediaPaul praised AJ for earning the win, after returning to action following the tragic car crash he was involved in at the end of last year which took the lives of his two close friends.
“Happy for Joshua with that win after all he’s been through. Remembering Sina and Latz with this one.”

The win for Joshua should now tee up for meeting with Fury later this year, after ‘The Gypsy King’ held up his end of the bargain by also securing a win in his warm-up bout on Friday, securing a seventh round retirement win against Mariusz Wach.
Anthony Joshua may have earned a knockout win over Kristian Prenga but the fight certainly didn’t unfold as most people expected.
Joshua was facing the Albanian in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia on Saturday, and it looked like a massive upset could be on the cards when he was dropped twice in the opening round.
‘AJ’ was able to recover and went on to secure a second round knockout victory to prevent the shock lossseemingly paving the way for the battle against Tyson Fury later this year.
One man who was ringside to witness the battle was former cruiserweight world champion Tony Bellewand he praised Joshua’s ability to turn things around in the fight after describing it as ‘chaos’.
“We predicted round two but I don’t think we foresaw that. That was chaos. He doesn’t see the uppercut coming and finds himself on the floor without knowing how he got there.
“The second one he did see it coming and he was able to clench down on the jaw. He got up and then the experience that he has he used tonight because he tied him up. Against Andy Ruiz he didn’t know what he was doing and didn’t know how to do that, but tonight he did.
“He showed once again there is no quit. To be that hurt in the first round and get up, that’s the recoveries of power. People talk about your chin, but it’s not, it’s the level of fitness that gets you up from the floor.
“When Joshua gets a fighter hurt he’s the best finisher in the division. Whenever he hurts someone they’re gone. I haven’t seen him drop anybody and they survive, only Andy Ruiz. He’s a ruthless finisher.”
The clash between Joshua and Fury is now expected to be announced soon for later this year, after Fury won his own interim fight on Friday by defeating Mariusz Wach.
