Could be Bakole as well, ranked #4 in the WBC. Bakole's trainer said a couple weeks ago that he has a massive fight coming up and I'm not sure who besides Kabayel that could be (not many ''big'' names available right now)
Wardley has beaten Huni and Clarke while Kabyel has beaten Chisora, Makhmudov, Sanchez and Zhang, they're not even on the same level right now. Wardley hasn't even proven he's better than current Chisora let alone the version Kabayel beat or Sanchez or Zhang. Kabayel right now would expose him and stop him. Wouldn't even be competitive.
Honestly looking at Kabayel across his career there's nothing to make me think he couldn't box Wardley from the outside ala Huni if he wanted to. But really he'd just try and make him **** blood like he's tried to make his recent opponents, and I don't see Wardley as having the experience or skills to stop him from doing it. Yeah Wardley can bang, and yeah Kabayel can get hit, it's boxing that's the nature of the game. But based on what we've actually seen from both guys, Kabayel doesn't get out of second gear before Wardley is on a knee with one hand on his liver.
Dave should probably avoid that fight, and he seems self aware enough to. I'll be surprised if this gets signed tbh.
