Usyk’s margin creates a detour for Joseph Parker and an opening for Fabio Wardley

Queensberry promoter Frank Warren says that Oleksandr Usyk will fight the rest of 2025 due to an injury.

Warren claims that the undisputed heavy weighing champion Usyk (24-0, 15 kos) has asked the WBO to take a while due to his injury. This directly affects Joseph Parker, as he hoped to challenge Usyk for his title this year.

The Waiting Time of Usyk Injuries

“(Heavy -weightable indisputable champion, Oleksandr Usyk), asked the WBO for time due to an injury, and provided evidence, and this is the position at the moment,” said Queensberry Frank Warren’s promoter. Sky Sports.

While Usyk recovers from his injury, the temporary champion of the WBA Fabio Wardley and the temporary champion of Wbo Parker are in negotiations to fight on October 25, 2025 at the O2 Arena in London.

Warren is impressed with the way Parker and Wardley are willing to fight risky while Usyk is out. Both are in positions to challenge their world title and could wait until next year if they wanted.

The new heavy weight division direction

“That says a lot of them, but this happens in this heavy weight division. The fighters are struggling with each other; no one sticks to anyone. They are happening and we make them come true,” said Warren. “Everyone wants to see these fights and we are working very hard to deliver.”

Would not go until saying “everyone” wants to see Parker fight against Wardley. Many fans would prefer to see Parker fight Moses Itauma, Agit Kabayel or Daniel Dubois. Understandably, these are fights that would attract more interest because of a combination of popularity and proven records.

History of Wardley Limited Competition

Wardley, 30, has not surpassed any notable fighter during his career, choosing to operate at the British national level instead of the world. He seems to be a good basic slug, but his first fight against Frazer Clarke on March 31, 2024 showed the level he struggles.

Fabio’s best wins

• Frazer Clarke
• Only huni
• David Adeleye
• Eric Molina
• Nathan Gorman

Wardley absorbed a lot of punishments in the fight against the Great and Slow Clarke of 266 pounds. His face was a bloody disaster at the end of the contest, which scored a 12 -round majority tie. Again, no “everyone” wants to see Parker vs. Wardley. Fans would like to watch other games that participated in Parker.
