Fabio Wardley Knocks Out Justis Huni in an Epic Fight

In an impressive display of power, Fabio Wardley achieved a spectacular knockout over Justis Huni in the tenth round, changing the course of a fight that seemed dominated by the Australian. The match, held in Ipswich, England, before a crowd of approximately 20,000 fans, witnessed an unexpected turn that catapulted Wardley one step closer to world glory. Huni, with his precise and educated boxing, seemed headed for a points victory. However, a precise right hand from Wardley changed the course of the fight at 1:42 of the tenth round, leaving Huni lying on the canvas. This knockout not only gave Wardley the victory, but also positions him as the mandatory challenger for the World Boxing Association (WBA) title. Wardley’s victory puts him in the orbit of a possible world title fight, probably in 2026. The current WBA champion is Oleksandr Usyk, who will face Daniel Dubois for the undisputed title on July 19 at Wembley Stadium, London.

I don’t pretend to be a Usyk or a Huni with all the skills, but I do know how to give my best, hold on to the mouthguard and get that result.

Fabio Wardley
Wardley’s path to the top has been meteoric. After only four amateur fights, he quit his job to dedicate himself fully to professional boxing in 2017. With only four “white-collar” boxing matches before turning professional, he is now on the verge of a world title opportunity.

The image shows Fabio Wardley celebrating his knockout victory over Justis Huni. Wardley, who had a brief stint with Ipswich Town’s youth team, began the fight as the WBA’s number one contender behind Pulev. His rise in heavyweight boxing has been remarkable. His promoter, Frank Warren, has even compared him to former WBC champion Deontay Wilder. Huni, on the other hand, had a distinguished amateur career. In the fight, Huni demonstrated his boxing prowess, but Wardley responded with greater aggression. Huni’s experience became evident in the first half of the fight, outperforming the local hero. Huni landed quality punches in the fifth round, including a left hook. Wardley, whose manager is Dillian Whyte and who has been a sparring partner of Usyk, was at a disadvantage in the middle of the fight. Huni connected with a right hand in the sixth round, increasing his dominance. Wardley struggled in the seventh round, but in the eighth, Huni landed a big punch that left Wardley looking for the knockout. And he did it, connecting a right hand in the tenth round that sent Huni to the canvas, sealing the victory.
