Incredible ringside angles of Fabio Wardley's dramatic KO of Justis Huni as Frank Warren teases Oleksandr Usyk fight
INCREDIBLE ringside footage captured the moment Fabio Wardley dramatically knocked out Justis Huni to set up a world title shot.
Wardley was down on all the judges scorecards and behind on the punch stats after ten rounds at Ipswich's Portman Road.

But the hometown hero produced the mother of all Hail Mary's to knock Huni out with a huge right hand.
Ringside angles captured by Queensberry Promotions and DAZN revealed the brutal extent of Wardley's home run shot.
The British heavyweight slipped to his left and his counter right produced a thudding sound - and down went Huni.
Wardley, 30, walked away with his unbeaten record intact and a WBA interim title for his troubles.
It puts him in line for the belt that Oleksandr Usyk defends on July 19 at Wembley against Daniel Dubois.
Wardley's promoter Frank Warren told Boxing News: "No rush for anything, he's secured his position with the WBA.
"A big fight's happening on the 19th of July at Wembley between Usyk and Daniel Dubois.
"Whoever comes away with the four belts is going to have to start to make some mandatories and all the mandatory contenders are guys we work with.

"So they're going to be pretty easy fights to make."
Wardley is on the verge of going from recruitment consultant-turned-white collar boxer to genuine world title contender.

But he said: "I don't profess to be any kind of Usyk or Justis Huni - someone with all the skills.
"But one thing I do know is how to win fights, dig deep, find a bit of heart, bite down on the gumshield, find a way to win.
"That's one thing I had to do tonight. I should have performed better in some of the rounds.
"It's not always the way it goes. Sometimes you just need to find a different way to win. So look, we pulled something out of the bag."

Football Foundation funds scholarship in memory of Stephen Lawrence
A new scholarship programme commemorating the memory of Stephen Lawrence is to be funded by the Football Foundation, with the aim of supporting black students from low socioeconomic backgrounds to train as architects and help develop more inclusive infrastructure for the national game. The Stephen Lawrence Scholarship has been developed in conjunction with Greenwich University and will see one student each academic year provided with a fee waiver for the establishment's MArch Architecture programme. The recipient of the scholarship will also work with the Football Foundation outside their studies. Stephen Lawrence aspired to become an architect before he was murdered in a racist attack in the south London neighbourhood of Eltham in 1993 at the age of 18. He was also a keen Manchester United supporter and his mother, Doreen Lawrence, said the scholarship would be a 'meaningful continuation' of his legacy. 'Through the Stephen Lawrence Scholarship, Stephen's legacy will continue to inspire and empower future generations, ensuring that his vision for equality, opportunity and justice lives on,' said Lady Lawrence, who holds an honorary doctorate at the university. '[It] will provide opportunities for the next generation and reinforce the vital role that education and sport can play in transforming communities.' The Football Foundation works to improve grassroots facilities in the sport, with an emphasis on 'where the need is greatest and the greatest impact will be made'. It is funded by the Premier League, Football Association and UK government. Robert Sullivan, the organisation's chief executive, said the scholarship would form part of its work to lower barriers to entry in the sport. 'This initiative is the perfect legacy as we work to plan, design and construct facilities that target and support groups and communities who have faced barriers in terms of participation,' Sullivan said. 'This includes lower socioeconomic groups and culturally and ethnically diverse communities. These facilities provide not only a great place to play but also a safe space for communities to come together, where people can meet and build friendships.' A lack of representation for black and minority ethnic people within football continues to be an issue for the game. In 2022, data recorded by the Black Footballers Partnership found that 43% of players in the Premier League were black but only 4.4% of former players were in managerial roles in England. Meanwhile, only 1.6% of executive and leadership roles at men's clubs were held by black people. Paul Elliott, the vice-chair of Charlton, which sits in the borough of Greenwich, helped to broker the scholarship deal. A long-term activist for racial equality in football, the former Celtic and Chelsea defender said: 'This partnership between the University of Greenwich and the Football Foundation is a powerful example of what can be achieved when shared values and vision come together. 'It has been a personal honour to help bring these organisations together in Stephen Lawrence's name – uniting his passion for football with our collective commitment to creating inspiring spaces and life-changing opportunities for young people. Through the Stephen Lawrence Scholarship, we not only honour his legacy, but actively build on it, empowering a new generation.'

Uriah Rennie, Premier League's first black referee, dies aged 65
Uriah Rennie, the first black Premier League referee, has died at the age of 65. The Jamaica-born official grew up in Sheffield and oversaw more than 300 matches starting with his breakthrough appointment as Derby County hosted Wimbledon in August 1997. The game was, however, abandoned because of floodlight failure. The Sheffield and Hallamshire County Football Association posted on X: 'We are deeply saddened to learn of the passing of our former chair and trailblazing referee, Uriah Rennie. 'Uriah made history as the Premier League's first black referee, officiating over 300 top-flight matches between 1997 and 2008. He broke down barriers, shaped our football community and inspired generations to come. 'Our thoughts are with Uriah's family and friends at this difficult time.' Uriah Rennie has continued to blaze a trail every step of his journey. Here is the story of the Premier League's first black referee… #NoRoomForRacism — Premier League (@premierleague) October 28, 2024 Former PGMOL chief and Telegraph Sport columnist Keith Hackett labelled Rennie as the 'fittest referee he has ever seen'. Rennie became a Fifa-listed referee in 2000 and joined the select group of professionals one year later, with his retirement coming in 2008. In November 2023 he was awarded an honorary doctorate by Sheffield Hallam University for his distinguished contributions to sport and his work with South Yorkshire communities. However, he told BBC News in April how, while on holiday in Turkey last year, he felt severe pain in his back and doctors discovered he had an inoperable neurological condition that left him wheelchair-bound. 'I spent a month laid on my back and another four months sitting in bed,' he said. 'They kept me in hospital until February, they found a nodule pushing on my spine and it was a rare neurological condition so it's not something they can operate on. 'No one has told me I won't walk again, but even if someone did say that I want to be able to say I did everything I could to try.' Former Liverpool and Nottingham Forest striker Stan Collymore posted on X: 'Incredibly sad to hear of the passing of referee Uriah Rennie. A pioneer, trailblazer and a bloody good ref. Rest in peace, ref.' Incredibly sad to hear of the passing of referee Uriah Rennie. A pioneer, trailblazer and a bloody good ref.
