Fabio Wadley has made the decision to sign with Frank Warren and Queensberry Promotions ahead of his next fight, and he has now explained why he has joined forces with the legendary promoter.
British, Commonwealth, WBO European and WBA Continental heavyweight champion Wardley returns to action on the Artur Beterbiev vs. Dmitry Bivol card in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia on October 12, when he has his highly-anticipated rematch with Frazer Clarke.
The two men met back at The O2 Arena in March, when after an extremely entertaining back and forth battle, their bout ended in a split decision draw.
That fight was Wardley’s second straight bout where he operated as a free agent, after splitting with longtime promoter Eddie Hearn and Matchroom Boxing, who had guided the majority of his career up to that point.
He has now revealed why he has made the choice to work with Frank Warren and Queensberry, after it was announced that he had signed a mult-fight promotional agreement.
“At this stage in my career, aligning myself with the best promoter is crucial and I couldn’t be in better hands than with Frank and George. Seeing the massive fights and shows that Queensberry have put together over the past few years has me really excited about the future and what we can achieve together.”
Warren now works with a number of big names in the heavyweight division, including Tyson Fury, Zhilei Zhang, Daniel Dubois, Moses Itauma and others, and he’s pleased to welcome Wardley to his ranks.
“The heavyweight division could not be more exciting at the moment and Fabio has already shown himself to be a serious part of that with some real standout performances.
Fabio understandably had a lot of offers on the table and I could not be more pleased that he has chosen Queensberry to promote his career at such a pivotal time. He has a huge rematch in October and once he comes through that I truly believe he’s ready to challenge anyone in the top 10.”
Wardley is managed by Michael Ofo, and he has shared the excitement to have Wardley joining forces with Warren and Queensberry.
“It’s fantastic to have Frank Warren and Queensberry on board promoting Fabio. Over the last few years they have promoted nearly every single major heavyweight fight. We look forward to being involved in some massive nights with them over the coming years.”
