Fabio Wardley responds to whether he’s ready to give Parker a rematch

Interim WBO heavyweight champion Fabio Wardley has spoken about the possibility of a rematch with Joseph Parker.

“I’d absolutely be up for a rematch. It was a fantastic fight, a great contest. Despite the discussions around the stoppage — nobody walked away saying it was boring or dull. The fight had highs and lows throughout. It had everything.

We’ll see how things unfold with Usyk. Let’s see how the situation develops, but I’d be happy to run it back with him,” Wardley 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 referee stepped in after a prolonged attack from Wardley.
