    He's been missing in action. Wardley had two fight's scheduled post Huni-Wardley. He super young what's he doing being so inactive?

    He took the fight as a fill in is how I remember it. Super Ambitious.
    Now he's super Lazy?
    Like what the hell is going on with him. I don't follow twitter feeds but some kinda news would be helpful.

    The guy was super exciting some super fast hand speed.

    That's funny it does.

    He's going to get unranked pretty soon. His 1 year mark is coming up in summer..I just can't figure it out.

    Such a loss can damage one's ego massively.

    He has talent and seems a good guy, so I wish the best for him still.

    BTW folks, there is another talented Aussie HW on the rise being promoted by Eddie. I don't think he's had a pro fight go past round one yet and he's a showman. Teremoana Jnr.

    Keri was heavily involved with Jai Opetaia too, left a massive hole behind.

    You are more than welcome my friend. Australian and New Zealand boxing are both having a massive revival and we are seeing far more naturally athletic and powerful Aussies of Polynesian descent entering the sport, exciting times.

    Teremoana has recently called out Itauma (possibly prematurely), and I can see a major sporting rivalry developing between Australasian and British boxing if both regions continue producing excellence.

    I hope he boxes again. In terms of pure technical schooling I honestly think he's the best heavyweigbt next to Usyk. But the seeming vulnerabilities given his chin and lack of power make him very exciting and interesting to watch imo. He gives me Linares vibes. I hope he can come back and be very successful. Love his style.

    lol at some of the comments above.
    a simple google search could have answered the question without need for speculation posts.

    Needs to rebuild with a few steadiers. If he goes straight back in with a live opponent, forget about it.

    Great talent, but needs to be managed carefully.

    Pretty sure he's due to fight Leutele soon, it was cancelled last year due to his trainer dying.

    I think they'll put him straight back in with a live opponent. Wouldn't be surprised if he signs with Snuffa. There's no money in a Leutele rematch. It also doesn't make much sense b/c Huni was hurt & dropped (not called by the ref) the last time he faced him. I don't think the fight will happen. I think they'll go for another money grab which is not what he needs. Hope I'm wrong.
