    Fabio Wardley reveals the fight he would never agree to and claims he would even ‘take a knee in the first round’

    FABIO WARDLEY has floored the baffling suggestion that he could fight his mentor and pal Dillian Whyte.After following all of Wardley’s career, we were stunned to hear the idea even mooted from some clumsy pundits. Fabio Wardley has ruled out fighting his manager and mentor Dillian WhyteCredit: @fabiowardleyBut Wardley told SunSport with a laugh: “From the second it would be announced, everybody who knows the sport and who knows us, would know it would be fake and not something I would ever do, because of the amount of love, respect and admiration I have for Dills.“People go on about my story, white-collar, coming from nowhere, sparring Usyk.”But none of that is possible without Dillian at the beginning, giving me all of these opportunities.“So I would never spit in his face and fight him.READ MORE IN boxing “Even if all the sanctioning bodies called for the fight and somebody was silly enough to put all the money up, I would take a knee in the first round and give him the win.”Ipswich’s 30-year-old former recruitment worker and white-collar boxer headlines Portman Road on Saturday night against tough Australian Justis Huni.Whyte was due to feature on the Ipswich undercard but pulled out to secure a summer showdown with Lawrence Okolie.He has not boxed in England since November 2022 and was supposed to have a rematch with Anthony Joshua in August 2023.Most read in BoxingFABIO WARDLEY VS JUSTIS HUNI: ALL THE DETAILS YOU NEED AHEAD OF HUGE BOUTCASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITSBut that O2 sell-out was scrapped when Whyte failed a doping test.Whyte has boxed in Gibraltar and Ireland since that big-money clash was binned, landing underwhelming wins.Fabio Wardley prepares for dream Portman Road homecoming fight For Wardley, on June 16 his partner is scheduled to give birth to his first child, a bouncing baby girl.For anyone else, the nail-biting fortnight would be a crippling rollercoaster of emotions impossible to combine. But the Suffolk Puncher – who went on an Oleksandr Usyk sparring trip to Ukraine in 2018 when he barely knew how to throw a jab – is loving the chaos.The class act told SunSport: “June 2025 is going to be a wild month I talk a lot about, for the rest of my life.“I will be an old man in a rocking chair, telling people about it and wondering how we pulled it off.“Everything has come together at the same time, it might seem a bit hectic but I wouldn’t have it any other way.

    Mum wins £11k payout from Premier League star who ‘helped his brother dodge child support payments to daughter, two’

    A MUM has won an £11,000 payout from a Premier League star accused of helping his brother dodge child support payments for his young daughter, she claims.Chelsea ace Tosin Adarabioyo allegedly funds older brother Fisayo’s extravagant lifestyle, paying for a £2.9million mansion, giving him a monthly income and a credit card to go shopping with.Nadia Messaoud during a protest outside Chelsea’s Stamford Bridge stadiumCredit: Nadia MessaoudNadia has won an £11,000 payout from the Premier League starCredit: PP.Tosin Adarabioyo allegedly funds older brother Fisayo’s extravagant lifestyleCredit: Shutterstock EditorialThe Sun snapped photos of flashy Fisayo, 30, a former pro-footballer, carrying a £3,140 Bottega Veneta leather briefcase. But despite his millionaire lifestyle, Fisayo has yet to pay a penny towards his two-year-old daughter Anara’s upbringing after telling the Child Maintenance Service he’s skint, it is claimed.Anara’s struggling mum Nadia Messaoud, 41, who dated Fisayo for a year before they split in 2022, said she was forced to take action after being ignored.She took civil action against Chelsea defender Tosin for funding his brother while allegedly knowing of his sibling’s obligations.Legal documents relating to the civil action, seen by The Sun, state: “The defendant (Tosin) has been knowingly providing his older brother, Fisayo Adarabioyo, with an income that is not being declared to HMRC or the child maintenance service.“This is with the intention to obstruct my daughter’s legal right to obtain child maintenance.“My child has for the last three years been awarded the nil level of CMS.”Nadia also alleged that as well as thousands of pounds a month in cash income, Tosin also provides his brother with a credit card to spend on.  Most read in FootballAccording to Land Registry documents, Tosin, 27, thought to be on £120,000 a week at Chelsea, owns the Cheshire mansion in which Fisayo lives.The Department of Work and Pensions has awarded unemployed Fisayo a “nil rate” on child support for the past three years because he claims he does not earn enough to pay.Nadia staged a protest outside Chelsea’s Stamford Bridge stadium last month to raise awareness around her cause.She wore a vest top and held a sign both of which said: “TOSIN #4 Women Matter, Children Matter, D.A (Domestic Abuse) survivors matter.”She is backed by domestic abuse charity Women’s Aid.Fisayo was convicted of harassment without violence in 2022 after turning up at Nadia’s terraced home in Cheshire, banging on her door and leaving her terrified.He also bombarded her with texts, saying he hoped she miscarried the baby and threatened to kill her.After allegedly failing to respond to Nadia’s legal claim, his brother Tosin has been ordered by the court to pay her £11,000.However, Tosin’s legal team told The Sun the order was a “default judgement” made in error “on the part of the court”.Nadia said: “I’ve not received a penny from Fisayo to help with our daughter, while he’s living a footballer’s lifestyle thanks to his Chelsea playing brother.”I’ve been rebuffed at every opportunity which is why I decided to take legal action against both of them.”All I ever wanted was a reasonable level of financial support but Fisayo has claimed poverty. Now I know the truth.”As a Premier League player Tosin is supposed to be a role model, but his actions have essentially blocked my daughter from receiving the financial support she’s entitled to by law.”Tosin’s lawyers’ statement added: “The Order arises from a default judgement which has been entered by the Court in a claim issued by Nadia Messaoud against our client (‘the Claim’).Unfortunately, it would appear that our client’s strike out application has not been properly processed by the Court and it has therefore allowed automatic default judgement to be entered in favour of Ms Messaoud.”This is a very serious administrative failing on the Court’s part and one which we are addressing with the Court on our client’s behalf. Inappropriately, she made an application for judgement in default, despite being served with that application. “Your summary is not a fair and accurate report of anything that has taken place in the Court proceedings.”They added that as well as “chasing” the court, they have also made an application on their client’s behalf “to have the default judgement order set aside”.”In summary therefore, the Order which you have seen is subject to an active challenge, and should neverhave been issued by the Court in the first place.”They said the claim is a “pattern of behaviour” by Ms Messaoud “to exert unwanted pressure on our client to provide further funding to her”.Read More on The Sun”Our client has no relationship with Ms Messaoud and owes no legal or other duties or obligations to her,” the statement adds.The Sun has also contacted Fisayo’s lawyer and Chelsea for comment.Fisayo Adarabioyo seen in January this year carrying a £3,140 Bottega Veneta leather briefcaseCredit: PP.Fisayo Adarabioyo playing for Altrincham in 2020Credit: Getty More
