    Brutal knockout, it's time for Wardley to step up to higher competition to see him against a higher caliber fighter, but I think he will definitely be successful.

    Wardley is a nice addition to the Heavyweight scene. Let’s see how far his strength and aggression will take him, I think his lack of fundamentals catches up with him sooner or later. But he is entertaining.

    Wardley's exciting. Nasty injury though, a doctor said it's something normally seen when someone is hit with a brick.

    Dear uploader,

    Agit is pronounced - AGH (as in 'go' or 'green') - EET. You were almost right. Better than "Ajiht" lol

    He should fight Charles Martin.

    I don’t know if they have a say in it but Wardley’s intro music was awesome. And the guy apparently likes coffee. Got to support him.

    His fundamentals are fine, the division isn’t exactly stacked with talent. I would actually bet on him against AJ as the bloke struggles with 2 things; people under 30 and people who come at him aggressively and Wardley is both. He may not become an undisputed champ but lesser fighters have won titles. I wish him luck

    Looks like a career ender for Clarke, horrendous KO. It was an unpopular opinion at the time but I felt Clarke edged the first fight, was surprised to see how quickly this one finished.

    Wardley has 2 things in abundance, power and toughness. He'll get pieced up by an elite boxer but he's going to give most fighters a torrid time. Joyce or Chisora would be interesting next?

    Imagine Wardley vs itauma or fisher in 2 years time? Great fights

    WARdley is going to take the mantle from Chisora and give boxing fans some incredible fights and gutsy performances. Chisora next I agree.

    Who are these elite fighters in the division to piece him up though? Only one who comes to mind is Usyk and he will be long retired before Wardley is anywhere near earning a shot at him. I wouldn’t class any others in the division as “elite” even fury is washed up and his feather fists would struggle to keep him off

    Yeah fair point.

    Wardley reminds me of Wilder in both a good way and a bad way. He's got that maniac killer instinct Wilder had in his prime but I also think a solid boxer like Hrgovic, Fury, Parker etc. probably deals with him quite comfortably.

    Yeah maybe right. I think Parker has a good chance of beating him as he has skills and chin, I would pay to see that. I thought hrgovic was the next big thing but been a bit underwhelmed but your right he should win. I actually think Wardley is bad news for fury as fury doesn’t have the legs anymore or the 12 round stamina he used to have and his weak punches won’t be enough to keep him at bay if he can’t use his legs. Zhang would be a good fight if he can survive 6 rounds has a good chance to beat him.
