Wow, quite astonishing work by Queensberry to get Wardley moved up to the No.1 spot when his last three fights (Clarke x 2 and Adeleye) were essentially against novice UK pros (in terms of professional fights at least) and not world-ranked contenders. The behind the scenes game-playing never ceases to amaze! Saying that, Fabio is fun to watch, hits very hard, has a warrior's instinct to fire back regardless of where he is or what's happening in the ring, and he has a lot of raw, natural ability too. I read that he's fighting Lenier Pero next (who I'd never heard of before seeing that rumour) but if he's a well-schooled Cuban then that could actually be a tricky fight and potential banana skin. There are some fun heavyweight fights out there for Wardley though. I wouldn't be surprised to see him matched with the likes of Okolie now he's in Frank's stable (and he has a beef with Wardley's longtime manager Dillian Whyte) or even Joyce (although I don't think that would be good matchmaking for Joe at this stage). Adeleye might be after a rematch too after his recent win although that was relatively one-sided in the end. I know Wardley fancies the Dubois fight too, which would be fun as long as it lasts. It will be interesting to see how things shake out after the heavyweight fights on the Feb 22 card to see who's left standing and who moves on.
