Fabio Wardley and Justis Huni look to reach heavyweight boxing’s top table this weekend, when they clash over the interim WBA title.
Wardley was initially due to fight the controversial Jarrell Miller, but the American withdrew while citing injury, leading Australia’s Huni to step in.
Huni, 26, and Wardley, 30, will each aim to stay unbeaten when they square off at Portman Road, home to Wardley’s beloved Ipswich Town FC. Wardley will also aim to maintain his stunning knockout record of 17 stoppages from 18 wins and 19 fights.
Last time out, Wardley (18-0-1) left no doubt in his rematch with Frazer Clarke, brutally knocking out his fellow Briton in the first round in October after their epic draw earlier in 2024. Meanwhile, Huni (12-0, 7 KOs) is on a streak of three straight stoppage wins.
Here’s all you need to know.
