Fury: “If Wardley lands, he can knock out anyone”

Former heavyweight world champion Tyson Fury has shared his thoughts on a possible showdown between interim WBO titleholder Fabio Wardley and undisputed heavyweight king Oleksandr Usyk.

“Usyk is a special talent, a fantastic boxer. But Fabio is a dangerous puncher. I’m convinced: if he lands, he can knock out anyone. He’s very strong and carries that power late, so he looked really good against Parker.

Before that fight, everyone was talking about Wardley having no amateur background. But that doesn’t mean anything — George Foreman only had around 11 amateur bouts and still won Olympic gold. So amateur pedigree isn’t everything. Fabio is big, strong, and has already made a name for himself. Congratulations to him and his team,” said Fury.

On October 25, Fabio Wardley (20-0-1, 19 KOs) stopped Joseph Parker (36-4, 24 KOs) in the 11th round after a prolonged assault that forced the referee to step in. Full fight statistics are available via the provided link.
