Fabio Wardley to Fight Justis Huni on June 7 After Miller Injury

Fabio Wardley will now face Australia's unbeaten Justis Huni for the interim WBA heavyweight title on June 7 at Portman Road, after original opponent Jarrell Miller withdrew due to a shoulder injury sustained during training. Huni, 26, is ranked number one by the WBO and brings a 12-0 record with seven knockouts, stepping in on short notice for the high-stakes bout. Wardley, undefeated at 18-0-1, is coming off a first-round knockout win over Frazer Clarke and had vacated his British title to pursue world honors. The bout promises a classic boxer-versus-puncher matchup, contrasting Huni's technical skills with Wardley's power. While Huni has notable amateur victories and a recent TKO win, questions remain about how he will handle Wardley's aggression. The event is promoted by Queensberry Promotions and will air on DAZN.
