Wardley vs Huni Set for WBA Interim Title

Fabio Wardley and Justis Huni, both undefeated, will fight for the WBA Interim heavyweight title on June 7 at Portman Road stadium in Ipswich. Wardley weighed in at 243 lbs and Huni at 248 lbs, with the winner set to become mandatory challenger for the WBA 'Regular' title in late 2025. Promoter Frank Warren has highlighted the bout as a key moment in the current heavyweight boxing era. The event, broadcast live on DAZN, is expected to draw around 20,000 spectators. Wardley, a local favorite known for his knockout power, faces Huni, whose technical skills and amateur pedigree are highly regarded, though he has fewer knockouts. While some fans see the bout as lower tier, it carries major implications for the heavyweight division's future.
