Who should Fabio be matched up with next? I personally wouldn’t throw him in with the top 5 just yet if I were his manager, maybe another two or three fights. But I definitely think he is ready for another step up.
The commentary last night suggested Otto Wallin or Jermaine Franklin next. Both of those are a good shout. For the name recognition and hype then a fight with Dyllian Whyte would also be a good next step up. It is too soon to put him in with someone in the top 10.
I like the idea of Franklin fight, that would be a solid test. I think a Whyte fight would be great to watch but unfortunately Whyte is Fabio’s manager I believe so I don’t see it happening.
Not even trolling, but I'd back him to beat AJ right now. Obviously it won't happen. He reminds me of Dubois in some ways. Loves a tear up and comes out all guns blazing, and is just as vulnerable defensively. He'll be in plenty of exciting tear ups going forward.
Joyce would be easy to make but I'd sooner see him retire. Years of blocking punches with his face have taken its toll on Joyce
I'm made up for Wardley. That was a massive night for him- it couldn't have gone any better. Big Fraze seems like a nice bloke and hope he's ok. But glad Wardley won
Savage win for Wardley. There are a few like Wardley that deserve to be in and about the bottom end of the big fights. I am probably ignorant of how big a step up it'd be, but I'd like to see him fight someone like Hrgovic or even Parker. But it's more likely he'll have to fight one of the other unfancied fighters that no one else wants to fight.
The front foot, aggressive AJ is only a thing when he's fighting people who don't punch. Especially with the confidence hit Dubois must have inflicted. I reckon he would stop AJ inside 4
Any heavyweight worth their salt has to have the kingpin on his record! Seriously though Wardley is a great story. I think Chisora then Whyte would be good money for him.
