Wardley’s Golden Ticket

Derek isn’t pondering clearly. Why on Earth would Wardley struggle Dubois at his lowest profession level when he simply earned a world title shot towards the King of the division, Usyk?

Now could be the time for Wardley to rake within the thousands and thousands to fill his checking account with cash that he may solely dream of earlier in his profession. Derek’s remark about him not making the most of his alternative sounds insane.

Chisora has been within the recreation too lengthy for him not to have the ability to give you a cogent argument for why it’s helpful for Wardley to move up a large payday towards Usyk in favor of a struggle towards the down-and-out Dubois. That seems like a brainless suggestion.
