    Multiple sources are claiming that Huni will be the replacement for Miller. Huni just entered the WBA rankings at #9, making him eligible to fight Wardley. Love this fight.

    Huni has incredible speed for a HW and is far more skilled IMO, but his lack of power and questionable chin might be a problem against Wardley.

    Update:

    Just got confirmed

    Love this fight. I think Huni will outbox him but will get caught with a big right at some point. Wardley late tko

    I think Wardley wins by KO.

    Decent replacement, and props to Huni for taking such a risky fight if this is the case.

    I'm not sure how Huni's chin will hold up in the long-run. He could outbox Wardley at times but the lack of chin and power will cost him at somepoint.

    Early to mid rounds Wardley TKO.

    I've got to back my boy Huni here. He will make Wardley look out of his depth for large parts of the fight, but Wardley's power will keep him in it.

    Huni UD with some moments for Wardley that feel like he is close to winning the fight.

    Huni is really going to have to spam his feet and speed here Wardley has massive power

    If Huni stays switched on and keeps his defense tight I can see him winning a decision.

    Wardley will have no respect for Huni's feather fists, Wardley by violent KO!

    Assuming it actually happens, Huni can outbox Wardley while it lasts. But Wardley is a very effective banger and it will probably come down to whether Huni can stay safe for the duration? I tend to think Wardley will catch him.

    Really? It would make commercial sense.

    Huni is better than Clarke and can beat Wardley, this is the type of fight where an upset is possible, so I'll pick Huni on points...

    Whyte is Wardley's manager.

    Could go either way.

    Fabs is a born fighter. Physically impressive and has that dog in him. I gotta say he should be the favourite here.

    Much better fight if you ask me. they would have met eventually. Huni has been training hard while waiting for an announcement.

    Respect to both for aiming up. Once it's finally delivered.

    Fabs is rightfully the favourite, he's earned that but it's a perfect step up fight for Huni to prove himself. And he's eager to do just that
