Interim WBO heavyweight champion Fabio Wardley (20-0-1, 19 KOs) could defend his title against undefeated compatriot Moses Ithauma (13-0, 11 KOs).

ESPN journalist Salvador Rodriguez reported this, citing WBO President Gustavo Oliver.

There are two options for Wardley: either immediately fight with the absolute champion of the division Oleksandr Usyk, or the organization will schedule a fight with Itauma.

Let us recall that Wardley won the interim belt by defeating Joseph Parker in the 11th round, and the WBO previously obliged Usyk to meet the winner of this pair in the next fight.

The day before, Fabio Wardley expressed his opinion about a potential fight against Oleksandr Usyk.

The promoter revealed what steps Usyk Novyny can take via Telegram and WhatsApp. Subscribe to our channels https://t. me/korrespondentnet and WhatsApp.
