    Oh I don't know, I quite like him ringside, and at least while he's there, the insufferable Bellew is elsewhere,......

    Wardley is so middle class. You can even hear it in his accent.

    He should drop the act.

    Most potential:
    1) Moses Itauma
    2) Solomon Dacres
    3) Fraser Clarke
    4) Fabio Wardley
    5) Johnny Fisher
    6) David Adeleye

    Itauma is very raw but is a southpaw and we’ve heard great things about him from current British heavyweights.

    Fisher will probably grow into a better version of Adeleye. Pretty limited ability but strong going forward with fast hands.

    2-4 were the hardest to rank. Wardley punches much harder than Dacres and Clarke so there’s an argument to have him at 2. I just think he lacks the fundamentals and has a poor defence. I think he’s a KO waiting to happen. Although I reckon he beats Adeleye, if he’s sloppy he could get knocked out early on in rounds 1-4 which is Adeleye’s best chance.

    If Wardley wins as expected and fights Fraser Clarke next on Sky, I can only see Clarke winning to be honest.

    Dacres is the least well-known but is technically very good. I reckon if he takes his time and Matchroom give him the right fights he could end up having the best career of these guys outside of Itauma.

    Just had a swatch at that Bella. To use an Alan Partridge line, "she'd kill her grandmother to get on the cover of Radio Times"

    She could also come in handy for tickets if that is her.

    1. Wardley (beats Clarke convincingly in a rematch and is head and shoulders above the rest)
    2. Clarke (moves up one based on putting out a decent performance vs Wardley which I thought he lost)
    3. Ituama (is ahead of everyone else below, but remains to be seen if he can take a punch)
    4. Adeleye (Has a lot of qualities which puts him ahead of everyone below but too easy to hit)
    5. Fisher (lacks a lot of basic fundamentals but is a cash cow and will continue to win as will be matched soft to milk the cow)
    6. Dacres (is clearly limited but has more experience at a higher level than either 7 or 8)
    7. Tommy Welch (14 fights against puddings but keeps winning)
    8. Ede Omoregie (has only fought puddings but is also undefeated)

    I think the Clarke fights going to have taken something out of Fabio, it was pretty brutal for him.

    Should they have a rematch, I think Clarke beats Wardley. Clarke needs to come in lighter & work on his stamina/fitness.
