A win over Dubois wouldn’t necessarily lead to a fight with Usyk, given that the Ukrainian great is looking at just a couple more bouts and then retiring. In lieu of an Usyk fight, Wardley could look forward to more big shows in the UK or big paydays in Riyadh. Potential foes include Moses Itauma, Deontay Wilder and the winner of Tyson Fury vs Anthony Joshua. If Usyk doesn’t face Agit Kabayel, a Kabayel-Wardley pairing would also be intriguing. We know Wardley can absorb head shots, but how would he handle a dedicated body attack?
