    What does everyone think of him?

    I have high hopes for him. Met him today and liked him too.

    Entertaining. Will happily get into a tear up and is just as vulnerable to getting KO'd as he is to Knocking his opponent out.

    Don't know how far he'll go in the game, but he's worth a watch.

    Not the most technically gifted but very tough and carries big power. Comes across sound too.

    He’s good! Seems like he’s got a good chin, can bang and happy to get into a tear up so what’s not to like.

    Think he should fight kabayal or Joyce next

    I like Fabio and he’s improving all the time. He’s not the biggest heavyweight compared to some of the Goliath’s in the division but he carries a lot of power and is spiteful.

    He should avoid Kabayel just now. This version of Joyce, on the otherhand would be ideal.

    I say make Wardley vs Ajagba. Let’s step him up again (slightly) and see how he fares before getting into the top guys.

    The next fight will be tricky for him stepping up from the peak of British level (Clarke) to fringe world. Should take it slowly with a Franklin type opponent who is easily beatable, presents a challenge (durable) and has fought the top guys to use as a yardstick. The new generation of heavy's is shaping up nicely.

    Yep, and doing really well with his lack of amateur experience.

    Fabio has become essential viewing after a series of fights under matchroom that looked rigged in his favour

    He has broken free from that stigma now

    His name sounds like one you get from one of those name generators, combine the first goalscorer in the cup final with your first grade teachers surname etc.

    You made me burst out laughing. That is brilliant. You're so right. Quite a good and unique-sounding name.

    If he's matched right he could get a world title shot. He's obviously not got the pedigree of some of his peers, but the heavyweight division is a bit of an anomaly. There's been worse world champions than Fabio Wardley.
