    Getting this over with before a bunch of jabronis clutter the forum with a flood of such threads in typical knee-jerk fashion.

    If this happens in early 2026, it would be a unification of the WBO interim belt (in Wardley's first defense) and the myriad of championships held by the Ukrainian. Wardley just defeated Usyk's longtime WBO mandatory, Joseph Parker. Usyk would offer the WBA Super, WBO, IBO (in his sixth defense of each) into the kitty as well as the IBF title he just regained in the Dubois rematch - versus yet another British opponent. :sisi1 Would be his eighth straight.

    Possible but Wardley looks durable. Wouldn't shock me to see Usyk school him for 12 rounds.

    Wardley isn't ready for this fight. Plus his street fighter style won't mash well. I rather see Usyk against Kabayel next.

    I'm going to do the same again and Say Usyk slips on the banana peel that is Fabio Wardley.

    I don't think he worked as one...he was given the nickname in his early pro career because he went through opponents quickly "like a skilled barista working through a full counter of coffee orders", apparently. :nusenuse:

    You cant stop destiny. WARDLEY WINS. THE STORY CANNOT END!

    Usyk gets old over night and the timing is perfect for Wardley to land the greatest punch in boxing history.































    Usyk by murder inside 7.

    Wardley has more heart and a better chin than Dubois that's for sure.

    Usyk would win yes because he's a superior boxer but there's no way Wardley would quit like Dubois did.

    Wardley is so crude, so against a master like Usyk, he would be walked into a horrid KO just like Dubois was. Parker landed some good shots, but he's not a world-level puncher. He has stones on him and doesn't have a bad chin, but I don't think he could take Usyk's power if he were getting hit that flush.

    Wardley and Dubois are both British-level fighters that Bricktop has managed to leverage for shots at the undisputed title. He's done a hell of a job.

    I don't think Usyk has been this heavily favored to win by stoppage in a poll since he was a cruiserweight. :lol:

    It's currently 11-2 (10) in his favor.

    I'm glad it's Wardley getting the dubious treatment rather than boring overrated parker

    Agit was more deserving of this shot.

    Parker and Kabayel were both equally deserving...but Kabayel would be more fun.

    Wardley hasn't actually KO'd anyone legitimate up to this point. Huni is extremely chinny. Clarke is a non-entity. And he couldn't even knock Parker down, a guy who had been stopped by Joyce, knocked down by Whyte, knocked down multiple times by Zhang, etc.

    He stands zero chance against Usyk unless Putin poisons Usyk's water bottle before the fight.
