Wardley targets Usyk: “The biggest carrot” after Parker duel

Fabio Wardley, known for his impressive knockout record, is preparing for a crucial match. The heavyweight boxer has expressed his desire to face Oleksandr Usyk, considered the “biggest prize” in the division, if he manages to overcome Joseph Parker this Saturday. At London’s iconic O2 Arena, Wardley (19-0-1, 18 KOs) and Parker (36-3, 24 KOs) will compete for the interim WBO and WBA titles. This fight could open the doors to a chance to face Usyk next year. Despite having less experience than his opponent, Wardley possesses devastating power, as demonstrated in his knockout victories over Justis Huni and Frazer Clarke in his most recent fights.

It’s the biggest prize in boxing for multiple reasons.

Wardley highlighted the importance of this opportunity, not only for the possibility of disputing a world title, but also for the opportunity to face Usyk, a generational talent. The fight presents multiple layers that make it a great opportunity. Wardley, aware that Parker represents a different challenge, recognizes the need for a strategic plan that considers the diverse skills of his opponent. The British boxer, who managed to defeat Huni, knows that Parker not only possesses a set of skills, but is fast, with quick hands and powerful, so thorough preparation is required. Wardley has mentioned that previous experiences against different opponents have provided him with valuable tools for this confrontation, allowing him to incorporate learned elements into his strategy.
