“The Greatest Achievement in Boxing History.” Warren Imagines Wardley Beating Usyk

Frank Warren, head of Queensberry Promotions and promoter of WBO interim Heavyweight titleholder Fabio Wardley, shared his view on his fighter’s chances in a potential matchup with the undisputed champion of the division Oleksandr Usyk.

“If he does it, it will be the greatest achievement in the history of boxing. Not British boxing — world boxing. No amateur background. A few white-collar bouts, fights against Joe Blow from Alamo — and after 21 fights he becomes the mandatory challenger for Usyk’s title. If Usyk doesn’t fight him, he will be recognized as the champion.

This is a true Cinderella story. He learned on the job, he was the underdog in every fight, and every time he came through. He’s a warrior,” Warren said.

On October 25, Fabio Wardley (20-0-1, 19 KOs) defeated Joseph Parker by technical knockout in the 11th round.

The World Boxing Organization (WBO) has ordered Oleksandr Usyk (24-0, 15 KOs) to defend his title against the winner of that bout.
