Tyson Fury foresaw difficulties for Joseph Parker against Fabio Wardley before the fight, as revealed by Fury’s manager Spencer Brown. Parker defended his WBO interim title against Wardley at the O2 Arena, with the victor earning a shot at Oleksandr Usyk.
Wardley delivered a standout performance, stopping Parker in the 11th round with a flurry of punches. Despite being behind on the judges’ scorecards, Wardley secured the win, validating Fury’s earlier prediction of a tough fight for Parker.
In an iFL TV interview, Brown quoted Fury as saying that Parker would struggle due to Wardley’s unconventional boxing style. Wardley, after his victory, expressed confidence in his abilities and readiness for the next challenge against Usyk.
Promoter Frank Warren is targeting a March date for the Usyk-Wardley bout, anticipating negotiations for the fight location. Despite suggestions for Wardley to face Daniel Dubois instead of Usyk, the boxing community acknowledges Wardley’s rising prominence and appeal.
