Jarrell Miller answers whether Wardley can knock out Usyk

American heavyweight Jarrell Miller shared his thoughts on a possible showdown between the undisputed champion Oleksandr Usyk and the interim WBO champion Fabio Wardley.

“Usyk will outbox Wardley. Look, Fabio comes into fights too slowly — he needs to let his hands go. Usyk is the kind of fighter you can’t intimidate with pressure or power.

This will be a pure technical fight, and I believe Usyk will win.

Can Wardley stop Usyk? No, I don’t see it. I don’t think so,” Miller said.

On October 25, Fabio Wardley (20-0-1, 19 KO) defeated Joseph Parker (36-4, 24 KO) by technical knockout in the 11th round. The WBO has ordered Oleksandr Usyk (24-0, 15 KO) to make a mandatory defense against the winner — which now positions Wardley as the next in line.
