Frank Warren supports the detention of a judge in Wardley vs. Huni fight
Published

Promoter Frank Warren sees nothing bad in detaining by judge Justis Huni in the tenth round in his fight with the Pondender to the ponderous weight Fabio Wardley last Saturday evening in Ipswich, England.
Warren supports Hunia’s detention
Warren says that Huni (12-1, 7 Kos) was on “shaky legs” when he got up in tenth and would be knocked down “Spark Out” by Wardley (19-0-1, 18 Kos) if the fight could continue to be the judge John Latam.
“No, no, no. I think the judge did what he had to, and if he let everything he did, this is a delay,” said Warren Boxnation Asked if he thought that the count was too speedy in the tenth round of Hunia’s detention against Wardley.
Brisk number of Huni judge
Fans do not agree. They believe that Huni was refused a chance to continue the fight by a judge who was too speedy with arrest. Huni fought with the popular British heavyweight, Wardley, on the edge of the defeat, which makes premature downtime even worse.
“He is [Huni] in a guy who is a destructive finisher. You saw it. What would happen? He got up. He was on shaky legs, and if he was cut again, he would be eliminated. I have no idea and I doubt if it will go anywhere, “said Warren.
Huni’s detention: Was it fair?
Huni should have confessed to doubt on the part of the judge, taking into account that he defeated the count. If Tyson Fury could continue the fight, when he was still in six in his first fight against Deontay Wilder, Huni should have a chance to continue the fight by defeating the count.
He was not unaware as Fury was and should have been able to continue. What makes Huni look like a visiting warrior from Australia, competing on the British land against the British with the English judge. The deck was against him. It would not be a massive deal if Huni were British. I mean that it would still look bad, considering that he was on the list nine against Wardley Hunting.
“He beat the guy who was in the top ten,” said Warren, asked what he learned about Wardley last Saturday.
Fabio defeated the pretender to Fringe Hunia, but his performance showed that he was not in the class of many of the 10 best fighters. The way Wardley performed would be knocked out by older, slower ponderous scales, such as Martin Bakole and Zhilei Zhang. Wardley has no defense, and these guys hit too difficult.
“Don’t get me wrong I lost some rounds There and it was not the best performance and all this. But. I won. I threw him out, so I’m until the next, “Wardley said IFL TV about his fight with Huni.
The Hunic Juni results card has been revealed
As you can see, Wardley disregards how much he was in the fight in battle, saying that he “lost some rounds” against Hunia. At the time of arrest, the judges won him 89-82, 89-82 and 88-83. This means that they had ahead at 9 and 7 rounds. It was a complete mismatch.
This suggests that Wardly lacks technical skills to overcome fighters at the highest level. His only chance to win is happiness by landing the Homerun swing if he is with someone who gets reckless, like Justis. On antique 30 and tardy injuries, they begin to display on his face, Wardley is not newborn enough to improve his technical skills enough to compete with better heavyweight in the division.
If the money is basically what Wardley’s career is about, he can be lucky and receive the title shot against the winner Oleksandr Utyk vs. Daniel Dubois 2 Rematch next month. WBA undertook to fight the “ordinary” champion of Kubrat Pulev for his secondary belt, not the title of WBA “Super” in possession. But maybe Warren can submit WBA application so that Wardley skipped Puleva’s fight and go straight to gigantic dogs so that he can get a lot of payment.
If Wardley can stay for another 10 years to fight in the 1940s, like Derek Chisora, he can become affluent. The 41-year-old journeyman Chisor was difficult at a ponderous level throughout his career, he never won the motor title, but his net value is estimated at $ 15 million.
Chisora got it, being an opponent of B-Side for Tyson Fury X 3, Vitali Klitschko, Dillian Whyte X 2, Joseph Parker X 2, Kubrat Pulev X 2, David Haye and David Price. He lost almost all fighters, except for two, and still earned millions. Wardley can do the same if it stays long enough. He can become another chisor.

An overhaul of the Ali Act could push tiny boxing promoters out of business

March 12, 2026
Proposed changes to the Muhammad Ali Boxing Reform Act are gaining attention in Washington, but some industry officials say the changes could make it more tough for smaller promoters to continue to host boxing events across the United States in many local markets across the country.
The legislation, known as the Muhammad Ali American Boxing Revival Act of 2026, includes several fresh provisions related to medical supervision and fighter protection. The proposal called for higher injury insurance, required ambulance and medical staff at events, expanded drug testing and a higher minimum pay for players.
Supporters say the changes will improve safety standards in boxing. Others believe the additional requirements could raise the costs of promoting fights.
Enormous promotional companies with powerful financial resources would probably be able to bear the higher costs. Smaller organizers who host club shows and prospect cards tend to make much less money, and their events depend on smaller venues and regional audiences to sustain them.
Under the proposal, promoters would be required to carry at least $50,000 in insurance against player injuries and $15,000 in the event of accidental death. The minimum fighter pay will also boost from $150 per round to $200 per round, and drug testing will boost for many fights.
Some boxing insiders say these extra expenses could make it more tough for smaller promoters to put on shows. Fewer local fight cards may reduce opportunities for youthful fighters trying to build their records early in their careers.
The proposal has already passed through committee in the House and is expected to go to a vote in the House soon. If the bill is approved there, it would still have to pass the Senate before reaching the president’s desk. Lawmakers continue to debate how the changes could impact boxing’s business structure while strengthening protections for fighters across the sport.

‘How can he ignore me?’: Usyk’s must-see challenger reacts to being left off the hit list
Published

March 12, 2026
Oleksandr Usyk listed his ideal last three fights, starting with Rico Verhoeven in May, then winner Fabio Wardley vs. Daniel Dubois, and ending with a trilogy fight with the returning Tyson Fury.
Only the fight against Verhoeven is certain – which is controversial for Usyk’s WBC heavyweight title – and the remaining fights are still to be negotiated, but interim champion and mandatory challenger Agit Kabayel seriously questions that list.
In a conversation on Instagram, the German heavyweight said:
“My parents always told me to stay humble and respectful. But I can no longer accept being ignored. I deserve to fight for the title.”
In an interview with RTL/ntv and sport.de, Kabayel expanded on this point, saying that Usyk’s plan proves that “he is only interested in money.”
“I always respected Usyk very much for his sporting achievements and I said: ‘Hey, he’s not afraid of challenges and he keeps his words.’ But he is only interested in money; everything else doesn’t interest him. Now I noticed it again very clearly.
“How can he not name the number one in the rankings, his mandatory challenger? It’s just melancholy that he would rather fight Dubois or Fury for a third time, even though he has already beaten them both twice.”
Kabayel – who himself came to a draw in his last fight against Daniel Knyba – fully deserves a chance to win the full world title by defeating Arslanbek Makhmudov, Frank Sanchez and Zhilei Zhang to claim the WBC interim belt. Usyk has been cleared by the sanctioning body to fight him after Verhoeven, but the Ukrainian appears likely to vacate the belt or lobby for an undisputed fight against the winner of Wardley and Dubois.
Usyk is in danger of losing not only the WBC belt, but also the IBF and WBA belts. Neither promotion has commented on the Verhoeven fight and could very well have opted to get rid of Usyk rather than follow the WBC route of putting their belt on the line, which was met with extreme fan backlash.

Richard Torrez Jr is waiting because Frank Sanchez’s Eliminator is delayed

Richard Torrez Jr’s road to a fight for the IBF heavyweight title was delayed after Frank Sanchez suffered a knee injury that forced their scheduled eliminator to withdraw from the March 28 event in Las Vegas. The fight was considered a key move in the IBF rankings, with the winner expected to move into mandatory challenger territory.
Top executive Carl Moretti confirmed that Torrez will not remain on the Fundora-Thurman card at MGM Grand after the eliminator is removed. The fight was scheduled to go live on pay-per-view, but our focus is now on setting a fresh date for when Sanchez can return to training.
Dan Rafael reported that the fight is currently scheduled for May 30 on the undercard of the proposed Devin Haney vs. Rolando Romero. This event has not yet been finalized and the heavyweight eliminator depends on both Sanchez’s recovery and confirmation of his planned appearance.
Torrez (14-0, 12 KO) last fought in November, defeating Tomas Salek in the first round in Mexico. The 26-year-old southpaw from Tulare, California, turned professional in 2022 after winning a silver medal at the Tokyo Olympics and has quickly risen through the ranks since signing with Top Rank.
Sanchez (25-1, 18 KO) is struggling with inflammation in his surgically repaired right knee. The 33-year-old Cuban heavyweight underwent arthroscopic surgery in June 2024 as a result of injuries suffered around the same year in his seventh-round knockout loss to Agit Kabayel.
The injury occurred during a long period of inactivity for Sanchez, who has fought only once since losing to Kabayel, defeating Ramon Olivas Echeverria in three rounds in February 2025.
The target date of May does not guarantee that the eliminator will move forward smoothly. Sanchez has only fought once since undergoing knee surgery in 2024, and now he is experiencing inflammation of the same joint again during training. If an injury prevents him from completing another camp, the IBF qualifier could face another delay, leaving Torrez waiting even longer for a fight that could move him into the must-see position.
The delay leaves the IBF eliminator question unresolved for now, and Torrez remains waiting for an opportunity that could bring him closer to a title fight.
