Wardley is gonna get beat, and beat bad imo. Reminds me of Wilder but with less power. Agit knocks his head off. Hes better off fighting Gassiev or somebody like that. I can see Zhang beat him tbh

After being emailed a belt following 2 dubious home-cooked decisions over foreign fighters, i think he knows he's not worthy of claiming true World Champion title.

I'm also inclined to believe, Parker took as much from Wardley in the fight as he did Joyce, who was never the same after his war with Parker. Time will tell as Oilskin smashed up Fabio good.

Every heavy with a dream will be gagging for a fight with Wardley next, but i'm pretty sure we can expect Frank to line up patsies and hold the strap to ransom hoping for an in-house trilogy when Itauma inevitably gets gifted a title also.

Usyk, having run through every hyped up, flawed and fraudulent U.K fighter he's faced seems over fighting anymore of them, especially younger guys who aren't worthy.

Best fight on the cards to pull a crowd and make bank is a Parker rematch. Fabio would do well to return the favour shown him by Gentleman Joe and run it back.

If! the stories are true & the big sasquatch is coming out if retirement, in house Fab Fury, world title with either lining up Usyk undisputed.
They don't need the entitled to mic stealing belt chucker that fights Disney kids.

Fabio Wardley is most likely technically a better fighter than Wilder, but? I still think offensively Deontay Wilder may have been more dangerous fighter 'and of course he is one of the three Heavyweight Mountains of this era along with Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua'.

But yes? I agree, it looks almost inevitable that Fabio Wardley is going to be beaten very badly at some stage of his career 'I am not talking about a flash knockout loss, but a sustained systematic beat down and deconstruction of his being inside a boxing ring. That level of loss'.

Note: Fighters like Fabio Wardley, Daniel Dubois and Deontay WIlder in some ways 'their best attributes, also make them susceptible to brutal losses. They are not good enough at World or Elite level to make fights easy for themselves, without knocking their opponents out'.

What I mean by this is? All of Wardley's best wins, have been during fights he was on the brink of losing 'this is great for entertainment. But from a pure performance perspective, he is consistently being beaten up and sustaining heavy damage in his career, win or lose. And that level of damage does accumulate'.

Deontay Wilder and Daniel Dubois were also very similar fighters 'even Daniel Dubois's best win at World level vs Anthony Joshua, in reality he even sustained damage in that fight. And in my opinion he was fortunate to knock Joshua out, just when Anthony Joshua was beginning to turn the fight back around'.

Fabio Wardley back to back now continually, win or lose is getting beaten up 'I honestly still believe that fighters such as Tyson Fury or Anthony Joshua. In solid form, could so easily make the fight easy and beat him over the distance, or via systematic beat down in the case of Anthony Joshua'.

To conclude: As a fighter, Fabio Wardley may be at the absolute peak of his powers right now 'and his team may have to strike real quick, to capitalize on his form. Because when fighters with the style and ability of Wardley start to decrease in form, they just become opponents at top level that are susceptible to being out boxed and beaten up systematically'.

We have seen this with Deontay Wilder and Daniel Dubois 'once fighters get past their power and aggression, they don't really have much reserves to fall back on in their game'.

This is not the case for fighters at the level of Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua 'that is why in 2026, even outside of their peak. They are still dangerous and very capable of beating most heavyweight fighters on the planet' etc.
