Fabio Wardley vs Justis Huni Set for June 7

Huni Steps in to Replace Jarrell Miller

Originally, the boxing world was looking forward to Wardley (18-0-1, 17 KOs) vs Jarrell Miller, especially after their heated press conference. However, Miller ultimately withdrew from the fight, with Huni (12-0, 7 KOs) stepping up to fill the void. 

Wardley comes into the fight on June 7, having eviscerated Frazer Clarke in their rematch. That fight showed the devastating power the Ipswich fighter possesses.

Huni currently holds the WBO Global and IBF Pan Pacific heavyweight titles and comes into this fight, having stopped Shaun Potgieter earlier this year. The Aussie fighter will be fighting in the UK for the first time on June 7.

Fabio Wardley vs Justis Huni Key Strengths

Wardley is fast becoming one of the most feared heavyweights on the planet. Many doubted his will to win before the first Clarke fight, but he showed he could dig deep when needed. Despite his lack of amateur background, Wardley has impressed in the pro ranks with the precision and power he shows in his fights. Huni proved too easy to hit against Kevin Lerena and will need to be defensively solid.

Huni is an agile heavyweight, which makes him adept at creating angles. Apart from the Lerena fight, he moves his head well and pot shots impressively. The Queensland native also has fast hands, one of his most impressive assets. He will need this speed to keep Wardley on the back foot.

Despite Huni’s amateur pedigree, this is undoubtedly a step up for him, and he will need to move his feet well to negate that devastating power of Wardley’s. The Ipswich man will likely come out fast to make his opponent feel his power early on.
