This will not move the needle on his career, but Pulev will give him a fight. Not sure what a win accomplishes, but Wardley will at least need to take it serious.

A win puts him in a fight with Michael Hunter, and the winner of that will be the mandatory challenger to Usyk.

Or, if Usyk retires/vacates, then the winner of Pulev-Wardley-Hunter will inherit the full WBA heavyweight title.

I think thats good for wardley, let's all keep our feet on the ground..he beat frazer clarke not some top contender. He needs 2 more at least with competetive people but not the very upper echelons. Hes the white collar guy remember, in some ways hes already exceeded expectations. No rush. Hopefully he can retain some of his raw aggression whilst being more polished, totally seemed that way vs Clarke. I love this fight hopeful Pulev turns up for a scrap though and not to lay down.

My first reply was actually to you. Hehe

Not sure how shot to bits Pulev is but if he's not "that" shot to bits he might give wardley a lot of problems.

Wardley is very raw, I like the aggression but there's not a whole lot of skill or technique behind him, Pulev is your typical well schooled eastern euro, if he can avoid getting tagged too much early he will become an issue.

Washed fighter, though dangerous. Frank should get a better bout for him.

We saw Pulev struggle to fend off Charr, a man who's hardly mobile having had double hip replacement! Charr was basically a stationary target and Pulev still went 12 rounds with the inactive, ageing, lumbering "champion". It was a fun fight to watch though because they were so evenly matched and had lots of heart. But a young hungry and durable guy like Wardley will probably eat this current version of Pulev for breakfast.

Pulev struggled against Charr in a very hard way and at times he used great defense. I don't know why he was so determined to get back up.

Well crap. I take it back. This is a VERY important fight for Wardley. i never would have thought Pulev was taken this serious.
