Fabio Wardley
“It definitely does feel different. It has been a funny one this week, with still being at home and where these events are, all being in my hometown, just down the road from me.
“I haven’t been defeated yet. I have come across star-studded amateurs, Olympic medalists, and all sorts. I don’t know where these things are supposed to match up and where I’m supposed to go wrong. They haven’t yet.
“Credit to Justis Huni for thinking he is the man to do that. The most obvious thing to say is I have the power, and that is undeniable when you see my fights and all of my opponents have touched the canvas.
“There is no way this is being taken away from me now. Not in my hometown, not on my home stage.”
Justis Huni
“I am feeling excited, pumped, and it is only two days out now. I can’t wait to get in there, share the ring with Fabio, and give the fight fans a good fight and the people of Ipswich, so let’s go.
“I’ve still got the same opinion. Two days from now, we will be able to showcase it and show everyone what I am all about. We’re here in fight week, and it is exciting for me.
“My ring IQ, my experience in the ring, knowing where I am at all times. It will show on fight night. I’ve done all the training that I’ve needed to do, and I am ready to go.
“I’ve got my game plan, and I am going to show up on the night and stick to it. It doesn’t really matter what we say here.
“It is on fight night when we’ve got to put all the training and stuff to the test. I am ready to go and can’t wait to share the ring with him.”
