Fabio Wardley teases potential Deontay Wilder clash
Discussing potentially facing Deontay Wilder, Wardley told The Stomping Ground: “He was one that was on the list before Daniel. Both him and Chisora, funnily enough, were on the list before Daniel.
“Look, I’ve ticked off a lot of milestones in my career, but one thing I haven’t done is fought in America, and done one of the big ones, whether that be MSG, whether that be Las Vegas, and if I’m going to do that, I need a big name to do it with.
“And who bigger at the moment in terms of my division and in America than Deontay Wilder?”
