Fabio Wardley knocks down Nathan Gorman in the BBBofC British Heavy weight bout at Wembley, London
BRITISH heavyweight Fabio Wardley believes Anthony Joshua remains a massive name in the sport and says it will be a pleasure to begin a big year as his chief support on Saturday.
Ipswich-born Wardley will aim to extend his excellent knockout record when he faces American veteran Michael Polite-Coffie on the undercard of Joshua’s comeback bout with Jermaine Franklin in London.
Wardley claimed the British title with a strong showing against Nathan Gorman in November and is excited about what 2023 has in store.
