Warren stated that organizing this bout is planned for the early months of next year, likely in March, depending on negotiations.
The fight has already been sanctioned, but final details need agreement.
If negotiations fail, promoters will hold a bidding process.
Warren expressed confidence that an agreement will be reached.He also emphasized his desire to see the bout held in Wardley’s home country — the United Kingdom, specifically at Wembley Stadium.
Such a venue would guarantee a full house and amplify the event’s atmosphere, considering both boxers are highly skilled and have strong fan bases.
Hosting the fight in Britain would be a perfect opportunity to showcase the strength of British boxing.This news gained further significance after Wardley’s stunning knockout victory over Joseph Parker in London on October 26.
The win made him the mandatory challenger for the undisputed champion Usyk, who holds the WBO and WBA interim titles.
Fans are eagerly awaiting what promises to be one of the most exciting clashes in professional boxing in the coming year, with both fighters bringing exceptional skill and determination to the ring.
