  3. Who can be Britain's next heavyweight superstar?published at 23:26 British Summer Time 7 June

    Wardley beat Huni by knockout

    Time to look back at our story from almost a year ago where we looked at who Britain's next heavyweight star might be.

    Of course, Daniel Dubois has gone on to become world champion and is one win away from becoming undisputed champion of the world, but two of the other three are still going strong.

    Fabio Wardley is heading towards a potential world title fight after dealing with Justis Huni in extraordinary fashion.

    Johnny Fisher may need to go back to to the drawing board after a heavy knockout loss to David Allen.

    Take a look for yourself here.

  4. 'It adds to the mystique around Wardley'published at 23:23 British Summer Time 7 June

    I didn't see it coming. Fair play to Fabio for pulling that out of the bag. It adds to the mystique around him and his background. He got compeltely outboxed but he still had the dynamite to finish it off. When you carry power like that, you can do that. I think Justis Huni got a little be complacent and walked into one.

  5. 'He's just an awesome fighter'published at 23:21 British Summer Time 7 June

    Wardley beats Huni by knockout

    Justis Huni speaking to DAZN: "That's my curse. I even said before this fight it only takes one second to switch off, it happened tonight. I'm grateful to Fabio and his team and to Ipswich to be able to perform in front of you. Get behind him, he's going to do great things.

    "He's just an awesome fighter. He never gave up and he got the win, he deserves it. Thank you Ipswich for the opportunity to perform here, I'm grateful."

  6. 'That was a Deontay Wilder moment'published at 23:19 British Summer Time 7 June

    Wardley beats Huni by knockout

    Queensberry promoter Frank Warren speaking to DAZN: "Eat your heart out Deontay Wilder, that was a Deontay Wilder moment. He's got a big heart, he's a powerful man and again, he stopped another one. I've got to take my hat off to Justis Huni, they both boxed very well. Ipswich, you did him proud and he did Ipswich proud too.

    "After that fight, it will settle the heavyweight division now to know who will be the mandatories. He is there. He's going to take a bit of time out now. Let the dust settle. He's in the position and he's done that through sheer grit, sheer hear.

    "This is such a fabulous place to put a fight on. I'm sorry about the rain, but everyone stayed and both men put on a great fight."

  7. Simpson stops Zucco in Oakwellpublished at 23:17 British Summer Time 7 June

    If you're wondering what happened in the other fight tonight, well it was also a cracker!

    Callum Simpson was knocked down TWICE by Ivan Zucco before pulling off a last-gasp knockout in the tenth round.

    These football ground fights, eh?

    Absolute detonation!!! Unbelievable shot. Though he has to shore up those defences because any top Heavyweight will knock him down long before he gets a chance. He won’t get the time he got tonight. But a totally unreal ending!

  10. 'I know how to win fights'published at 23:12 British Summer Time 7 June

    Wardley beats Huni by knockout

    Fabio Wardley speaking to DAZN: "Before we say anything, I just want to say a huge thank you to everyone in this building tonight. I've been on this weird and wonderful journey in boxing and I wouldn't be here without you. This isn't just for me, it's for all of you.

    "I don't profess to being any (Oleksandr) Usyk or Justis Huni who has all the skills, but I know how to win fights and that's one thing I knew I had to do tonight.

    "Justis Huni is a great operator. We'd drilled everything over and over again. I should've performed better in some of those rounds.

    "He's a great boxer, some great skills and he showed me everything he had tonight. I didn't expect to bank rounds like that with Justis. I hurt him a bit in the first round and maybe I had too much confidence early on."

    Credit to Huni for taking the fight on short notice and putting on a real show at Portman Road but no one could've stood up to that kind of power.

    Wow.
