    Is the WBO interim at stake ?

    Aspinall vs Gane in Paris on the same night and will do better PPV numbers but not in the UK, Gane isn't a star in the UK and Wardley is getting quite popular.

    I think it will be, Wardley will be given a provisional WBO ranking and will most likely be dropping his WBA ranking when he steps in the ring to make it eligible for the WBO Interim.

    Wardley's nowhere near world title level, Hunni was boxing his ears off.

    Honestly, it looks like Wardley is cashing out. I think he's a bit underrated but going straight for Parker after that Huni fight seems strange. Why would his team do this. I wish it was Itauma instead

    Will be rooting for Wardley. He's undefeated, explosive, incredibly athletic and Parker has been fighting old men and an unfit Bakole so a younger Wardley might expose that

    They are trying to sacrifice Parker and Hrgovic by setting landmines for them, they want to sacrifice Hrgovic against Itauma and Parker against Wardley in order to have a British fight that would sell well...

    If Fabio actually gets stuck in and does not do the backfoot poncey stuff he has a chance here as he's naturally stronger and more tenacious than parker and if he can rough him up like Whyte did who is not as fast and sharp as Wardley and not exactly a master boxing technician himself then he has a chance here.

    The odds are mental and Parker is the most overrated fighter in the world right now.

    Should be a solid "keep busy" fight for Parker in theory. I'll take this over a pointless chisora trilogy. Heard its not a PPV? so i cant be mad at it really.

    It does seem like they're trying to get rid of Parker

    Disappointed with Fabio copying The Dosser's ''I don't need yo be perfect for 12 rounds, I only need to be perfect for one second'' line and it being used in the promo

    You never go full Dosser

    And besides, that theory has been proven wrong in numerous fights of The Dosser, let alone other fights and it was only really proven right against binmen

    They should give him the WBO ouright. Then when they get it together with Usyk, it will be the man of this era against a two-time titilst.
