Comments Thread For: Fabio Wardley has ?plenty of options? for first defence in April

[Superbee]

April. So - 6 months after Parker fight. It’s become standard now but still blows to have prime career fighters with a 6 month gap between bouts. Especially when he’s likely to face a mediocre opponent

With the purses where they are now they don't need to fight 4-5 times a year like in the old days...You can make 5-10M a year without the hassle of sweating 8 months of training camp... I don't blame them as long the fights are meaningful ...

Fabio Wardley could make his first WBO title defense against ether, Anthony Joshua, Derek Chisora, or maybe Moses Itauma 'but I sense that Itauma's team may not want to take such a fight at this stage of his career'.

Note: Just imagine? Moses Itauma has been promoted as boxing's next Mike Tyson 'he has also been chosen by the British Boxing Media, as the best Heavyweight in the country outside of Tyson Fury, Daniel Dubois and Anthony Joshua'.

If Fabio Wardley was to smash Moses Itauma to pieces, then in my opinion 'it would be a catastrophic loss. Even at this early stage of Itauma's career as a heavyweight contender'.

So I would not be surprised if Moses Itauma does not fight Fabio Wardley next 'in all honesty? The fights against ether Derek Chisora and definitively Anthony Joshua are many times more bigger boxing events'.

To conclude: Moses Itauma still does not really have a passionate fan base, and? Just from my personal perspective, his recent forced exposure in the media 'has revealed his character much more. And I think Frank Warren and Queensbury boxing have a lot of marketing and tactical promoting to alleviate Moses Itauma anywhere near the levels of Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua i.e. in terms of both their achievements and rapport with boxing fans'.

In a ideal world, a immediate rematch vs Joseph Parker II would have been a solid fight 'but unfortunately the likely-hood of that fight happening has now decreased dramatically'.

Therefore I honestly believe Anthony Joshua and Derek Chisora could be prime candidates for a first title defense 'if Joshua can achieve a quick win in the new year, against a top level heavyweight then he would have put himself right back into position to challenge for a World title' etc.
