They are literally almost identical in some aspects of the tale of the tape there.
Height and reach the exact same as one another.
Similar ages, number of pro fights, knockouts and records as well.
It is seldom you’d see such evenly matched boxers in a heavyweight title fight in so many departments as that.
Wardley started boxing much later in life though, that is the big difference that the numbers don’t tell you above.
The whole fight comes across as being very even in all aspects.
Roll on.
Daniel Dubois will be well up for this one — he could be back to his heavy hitting best we think.
Let’s see how they get on.
