Queensberry promoter Frank Warren has confirmed that Wardley is in the picture for a title shot but said the division as a whole will become clearer after Usyk’s unification fight with Dubois.

“After that fight, it will settle the heavyweight division now to know who will be the mandatories,” Warren told DAZN after Wardley’s win over Huni.

“[Wardley] is there. He’s going to take a bit of time out now. Let the dust settle. He’s in the position and he’s done that through sheer grit, sheer heart.”

Wardley is the number one contender in the WBA rankings and holds their interim title but it is Bulgaria’s Kubrat Pulev who holds the regular belt, which would usually make him next in line.

Ipswich’s Wardley is likely to have to wait or put his position on the line in a non-world title fight next.
