      by

      FABIO WARDLEY secured a truly SENSATIONAL KO win in front of a packed Portman Road!Fighting in front of his home fans in Ipswich, Wardley was way down on the judges’ scorecards before an absolutely PERFECT punch floored Justis Huni.The Australian was putting on the performance of his career as they meet at the home of Ipswich Town for the vacant interim WBA title.But in the 10th round, Wardley stole a victory with a sensational one-punch knockout to secure an incredible win.CASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITSFollow all the action with our live blog below…What next for Wardley?The Ipswich star is now the mandatory for the WBA belt, which is held by Oleksandr Usyk.The Ukrainian fights Daniel Dubois in their unification rematch next, of course, and after that anything could happen.It’s not clear if Usyk will even continue fighting after that, win or lose.The WBO mandatory – Joseph Parker – will get any first crack at Usyk, or Dubois.But Wardley is now right in line.We wouldn’t expect any rushed announcements, but Wardley’s crack would appear to be approaching at speed.Copy linkCopiedOnly one that mattersCompuBox stats show that Justis Huni threw and landed almost double the amount of power punches to Fabio Wardley.The home fighter worked behind the jab, throwing more of those.Most had Huni ahead on rounds, but despite all that good work, it came down to one stunning punch from Wardley to decide this fight.Copy linkCopied’I’m grateful’Justis Huni was extremely humble in defeat and, after being a late call up for the fight, the opportunity.The Australian, who had a five-week camp after Jarrell Miller withdrew, said: ” “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.

Coming from zero amateur background, white collar, to finish like that.”He got completely outboxed but he still had the dynamite to finish it off.”I thought it was so easy for Huni, I thought Wardley was feeling sorry for himself.”But when you carry that power you have a chance.”It was getting easier and easier and he’s made a mistake and walked into one.”Copy linkCopied’Got the job done’Wardley, battered and bruised inside the ring, said: “I am so thankful to everyone here, you got me through that, I could not have done it without you.”I have never claimed to be Usyk, with all the skills, but I know how to bite down on the gumshield and find a way to win.”I should have performed better but I pulled something special out of the bag.”He pulled out so many tricks and I didn’t expect him to bank so many rounds.”But I screwed my head back on and got the job done.”Copy linkCopiedWhat a momentThis is the moment Fabio Wardley detonated an absolutely PERFECT KO punch to beat Justis Huni: Copy linkCopiedTitle shot next?Promoter Frank Warren was asked if Wardley could face the winner of Oleksandr Usyk vs Daniel Dubois next.Warren said: “That fight will settle the heavyweight division.”Let’s let the dust settle after that.”The first mandatory is the WBO, then it’s down the line – but [Wardley’s] there.”He did that through sheer grit, sheer heart.”Copy linkCopiedWhat a win!Wow!

      ENGLAND’S World Cup qualifier against Andorra is now UNDERWAY as Tuchel’s side look to build on their winning run.The Three Lions sit top of Group K after beating Albania and Latvia 2-0 and 3-0 respectively, back in March.Thomas Tuchel will take charge of England for the first time on foreign soil, but the clash won’t take place in Andorra.The World Cup qualifier will be staged at Espanyol’s RCDE Stadium in Barcelona, as Andorra’s national stadium is unavailable after the Games of the Small States of Europe.Tuchel’s men are looking to keep up their 100 per cent record as they face the lowest-ranked side in their group.TV channel: ITV1FREE live stream: ITVXAndorra team: Alvarez, Borra, San Nicolas, Llovera, Olivera, Garcia, Rodrigo, Guillen, Babot, Cervos, Fernandez.England team: Pickford, James, Konsa, Burn, Henderson, Bellingham, Jones, Rogers, Madueke, Palmer, Kane.CASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITSFollow our live blog below…Andorra vs England4 – From midfield, Bellingham advances and attempts a pass to Madueke, but it is intercepted at the cost of a corner.First of the game. Copy linkCopiedAndorra vs England2 – After England kicked off, the whole Andorra team fell back to the outside of their own box. The defensive approach presented Bellingham the chance to have the game’s first chance, which he obliged, 20 yards out, straight at the home keeper. Copy linkCopiedKICKOFF – Andorra vs EnglandAnd we’re underway. England kicks us off from right to left in their traditional white kit. Copy linkCopiedAndorra vs EnglandThe teams are out of the tunnel, and the substitutes are on the bench. National anthems are all done. Scattered supporters across the Barcelona stadium join in for both team’s formalities. It’s almost time for kickoff! Copy linkCopiedWhy are England playing Andorra in Spain?Following the recent Games of the Small States of Europe, Andorra’s national stadium is not accessible.Rather, the RCDE Stadium in Barcelona, Spain will host England’s World Cup qualifying match versus Andorra on Saturday, June 7.The European regulatory body of football, Uefa, stated that there were no available stadiums in Andorra.Although the Andorran Football Federation constructed a new stadium in the Encamp neighbourhood, it was not ready to host this game before the Uefa deadline.More England supporters can go since Espanyol’s home stadium, the RCDE Stadium, can accommodate 40,000 spectators, more than ten times the 3,306 that can attend games at Andorra’s national stadium. Copy linkCopiedPre-match reading Includes Dave Kidd’s column on the state of international football for England and everyone else involvedCopy linkCopiedHow to watch the game for FREEOf course, we recommend you stay with SunSport’s coverage of the game tonight.But the clash will be available for free in the UK.The game will be shown live on ITV1, with a stream available on ITVX.Copy linkCopiedFast approachingThanks for the early take-off, Josh; I’ll drive us into our main spate of action now! England, two for two under Thomas Tuchel, will play minnows Andorra at the RCDE Stadium in Barcelona tonight as they return to World Cup 2026 qualifying.The Three Lions have already taken the lead in Group K, while their “hosts,” who have lost both of their first games, are at the bottom of the standings.A portion of the offensive duty will go to Fernandez, given five-goal striker Albert Rosas Ubach’s absence. Given the significance of the three points, Tuchel’s team selection sparks question ahead of the friendly against Senegal on Tuesday. Ollie Watkins withdrew on Friday afternoon, hence his lack of involvement. For many of the England players, it is their last match of the season, and they hope to end it on a high note.Copy linkCopiedWhat the boss had to sayThomas Tuchel spoke on the importance of this game, saying: “It is a World Cup qualifier and we will not devalue it to an exhibition game.“It will be a very serious approach.
