Justis Huni may get a rematch with Fabio Wardley though interesting the referee’s stoppage would haven’t any advantage, says promoter Frank Warren.
With Wardley trailing on the scorecards, he uncorked a knockout end to halt Huni within the tenth spherical on Saturday.
Promoter Warren cannot see any try and attraction the referee’s name being profitable however that does not imply the Australian could not safe a rematch with Ipswich’s Wardley.
“People would buy into that. It was a good fight. It was a really good fight, edge of your seat fight. I loved it, perversely I loved it especially the end of it,” Warren informed Sky Sports activities.
“It was an unbelievable punch, fringe of the seat stuff, dramatic and the entire place went loopy.
“[Wardley] simply wasn’t letting that proper hand go, he did on the finish of the primary spherical and he wobbled him. His composure wasn’t nice and it wasn’t occurring.
“I could see that [Huni] was susceptible to it but he [Wardley] wasn’t firing.”
However when Wardley did land his proper within the tenth spherical, he made it depend. “He’s a powerful puncher,” Warren stated. “It doesn’t matter who it is, if he catches you, you go.
“Justis would not complain in any respect. He knew. If he’d have carried on, he’d have gotten badly damage.”
Huni has called for a rematch. “I am completely gutted,” he said after the fight. “I felt like I used to be doing every part proper, simply boxing sensible and sticking to the plan. I bought caught – it occurs on this sport.
“Congratulations to Fabio. He’s a warrior and he found the shot he needed. But this isn’t the end for me – not even close. I would absolutely love a rematch. I stepped up at short notice.”
Huni’s promoter Mick Francis stated: “He took this fight on short notice, walked into a football stadium full of Wardley fans, and put on a boxing clinic for nine rounds. This is only the beginning of his journey.
“He confirmed on Saturday night time he belongs with one of the best on the planet.”

Oleksandr Usyk and Daniel Dubois had an intense stare-down throughout their face-off earlier than their combat on July 19.
Path to world championship
Now the holder of a WBA Interim title, Wardley is in place to develop into the necessary challenger for the WBA’s full world heavyweight championship, one of many 4 belts Oleksandr Usyk and Daniel Dubois will combat for on July 19.
“He’s now the WBA Interim champion, so he’s in a good position,” Warren stated of Wardley. “We’ve got the big show on July 19 at Wembley where we’ve got Usyk in with Daniel Dubois. Four belts are on the line for the first time ever [at heavyweight in Britain].
“As soon as that combat takes place, anyone’s going to carry these belts after which the governing our bodies will begin calling for his or her necessary defences. Most of them are overdue. The primary one would be the WBO, which is Joseph Parker, who’s the Interim champion for the WBO. So he is the primary one for that. So I feel the subsequent one after that in all probability is the WBA.
