With Fabio Wardley set for his rematch with Frazer Clarke on the undercard of Artur Beterbiev vs Dmitry Bivol, Wardley tells Sky Sports that he’s in a good position to angle for an upcoming world title in the near future, once he takes care of business against Clarke.
With Wardley being ranked in the top 10 with three of the major sanctioning bodies he knows there’s potential for world title eliminators on the horizon and believes the heavyweight division is being turned over, which will provide opportunities.
“The landscape, it’s definitely in a massive change of guard right now, with Fury losing, with AJ losing, [Deontay] Wilder losing, [Joe] Joyce losing, [Derek] Chisora obviously winning but we know he’s only got a couple left so you don’t really throw him in that mix, Jared Anderson even losing. A lot of the people that were at the top, or you would have said were next up, have picked up losses on the way.”
That means Wardley is in the mix to reach his goal of becoming a world champion, and he says he’s only one fight away from being in the top echelon of the division. Therefore, Wardley isn’t looking to slip up right as he’s on the verge, and he believes he’ll prove himself worthy in this upcoming rematch.
