‘One perfect moment was enough to stop Parker’
Fabio Wardley (20-0-1, 19 ko) concentrated perfectly how he had his victory over Joseph Parker (36-4, 24 ko) last Saturday as he only needs to be “Perfect for that moment” To score TKO 11th round in the O2 Arena in London.

After the fight Wardley made it clear that he does not need to put the “perfect” battle together for 12 rounds. All he needs is that moment to get the shot, and he compensates for surrendering the other rounds.
The king one shot talking
King Wardley drew one shot attention to the fact that he was “Avoided fighter “ in the partition, and that is because of his ability to punch. Also, his willingness to walk by fire for the victory. That separates it from the other heavyweight in the department, which is not willing to deal with the pain that comes from putting weight.
Avoided for a reason
“I’m the avoided fighter in the heavyweight picture, and I’m back myself against any fighter out there. I don’t need to be perfect for 12 rounds, I need to be perfect for that one second,” said Wardley.
Fabio’s victory over the WBO Parker Interim Heavyweight Champion was locked in as the compulsory champion to undoubtedly usyk. Wardley Champion Frank Warren said after the fight that usyk will have to face next.
If he chooses not to be removed from the WBO title, and Wardley will be promoted to the new champion. The WBO has already ordered usyk to defend against their next compulsory. So that leaves it without choice.
A white collar to the world’s platform
“Have you ever seen something like this? Fabio Wardley has no experience, a white collar fighter who is now going to fight for the undisputed title?” The Champion Frank Warren said to Boxingreflects on Fabio Wardley’s victory over Joseph Parker.
It is a rare thing for a fighter who worked in the business sector to start boxing at the age of 20, and work its way to shoot a world title with no amateur experience.
“If you bought that fight, how could you not be entertained? There’s always someone who is going to complain. You don’t like it, don’t buy it. No one forces you to buy it,” Warren said of the fans who complained about the Iscard for Parker Vs Wardley.
Fans split on the undercard
Many boxing fans complained about the subcardy last Saturday. They felt he had no notable battles to justify the payment price per view on Dazn. If Warren had set one good battle involving distinctive fighters on the spot, fans would not have complained so much.
“Oleksandr, I got the most respect for you. Let’s hurry and get this fight on. Everyone wants to see her,” said Warren for his message to Usyk for wanting to put the fight between him and Wardley together.
