Fabio Wardley vs. Justis Huni Press Conference Quotes

Fabio Wardley

“It definitely does feel different,” said Wardley. “It has been a funny one this week, with still being at home and where these events are, all being in my home town, just down the road from me.”

“On the way here I am bumping into people I know and walking past places I go, so it has a bit of a different feel to it. It has added to a nice and relaxed, chilled week. I haven’t had to uproot and take myself to either Saudi [Arabia] or London, so it has been good for me and the team.”

Justis Huni

“I am feeling excited, pumped and it is only two days out now,” said Huni. “I just can’t wait to get in there, share the ring with Fabio and give the fight fans a good fight and the people of Ipswich, so let’s go.”

“I’ve still got the same opinion. Two days from now we will be able to showcase it and show everyone what I am all about. We’re here in fight week and it is exciting for me.”

Fight Prediction

The lack of an amateur background has not prevented Wardley from achieving considerable success in the professional ranks. Previously the British and Commonwealth heavyweight champion, he now treads the path towards a world title shot. Wardley’s power is legitimate, something his opponent will have to be wary of.

Huni achieved considerable success as an amateur. A World Championships bronze medalist, he qualified for the Tokyo Olympics but had to withdraw due to injury. Huni may have the ability to outbox Wardley, but at some point, he will feel the effects of the Englishman’s power. Expect Wardley to win via stoppage by round 10 while being behind on the scorecards.
