Fabio Wardley reveals he is facing his girlfriend's wrath with baby due a week after his dream Portman Road fight
FABIO WARDLEY revealed he is facing his girlfriend's wrath with their first baby due a week after his dream Portman Road fight. The Ipswich super-fan faces Australian Justis Huni on Saturday at the Premier League stadium. 4 4 4 It is a homecoming fight years in the making but arrives just as his partner is expecting to give birth to their baby daughter. Wardley told Ring Magazine: 'This is a slightly tense topic. My missus wasn't the happiest with this fight date. 'She is due a week later but it is Portman Road. It's not just any fight, it's the one at Portman Road. She said, 'Yeah I know but…' 'They say the chances are that the first one comes late but who knows. "Whatever will be will be at this stage. I'm just focusing on my job at this point and that is winning the fight. 'It's a mad 2025 and really just a mad June but I can't wait. I'm ready for fatherhood. My best mate's not long had his, a beautiful little girl as well. "So being able to watch her grow and knowing that's coming for me has made me a big softie to be honest. "It's going to be something special and I'm really looking forward to it.' CASINO SPECIAL - BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITS Despite Wardley admitting he will transform into a "big softie" he also expects to switch from dotting dad to destructive puncher at ease. He said: 'I think I will be able to do both. It will be double bubble for me. Fabio Wardley faces off with Justis Huni ahead of his homecoming fight 'What I mean is that when I'm at home with her and my family I will be as soft as anything but once it's training time, fight time, I'll do the opposite. 'I believe it will make me even more determined, even more driven, even more relentless because now they're relying on me. "That little girl will be relying on and depending on me. I need to go out and do my job.' Wardley, 30, is coming off a brutal knockout win over Frazer Clarke, 33, last October which followed after their thrilling draw six months prior. He was due to fight Jarrell Miller but the controversial American - who failed three high-profile drug tests in the past - pulled out through injury. So unbeaten Aussie Huni, 26, replaced Miller, 36, on short notice in a bid to upset the hometown hero. She is due a week later but it is Portman Road. It's not just any fight, it's the one at Portman Road. She said, 'Yeah I know but…' Fabio Wardley Wardley said: 'Of course it comes with pressure. But pressure is a privilege. Being here is a privilege. 'Being able to fight here is a privilege and I think I have proven throughout my career that I do well under pressure. 'I like it. When the lights are bright, when the occasion is big, it's when you get the best from me. "It's when you get the biggest amount of heart, grit, determination, the biggest amount of focus, and me firing on all cylinders. 'I'm in the best place I've been. I've got so much experience now within this professional game, from a variety of fights up and down the country. "I've fought over in Riyadh. I've fought over in Gibraltar. I've fought in the UK, London, Sheffield, here, there, everywhere. 'Small Hall, York Hall. I've mixed it all. I've done it all now. Now it's about bringing all that experience into one fight and that's what will happen on June 7. 'Only then will it be time to go back home to become a dad.' 4

Munguia denies doping despite adverse test result
The Ring Magazine reported on its website on Thursday that the Voluntary Anti-Doping Association (VADA) had "informed all relevant parties" that the "A" sample provided by Munguia was positive for exogenous origin of testosterone metabolites. If the "B" sample returns a similar adverse finding Munguia faces suspension and the the change of his victory to a no-contest. "Several experts have explained that there are multiple ways contamination can occur, and I am fully willing to undergo any retroactive, current, or future testing to demonstrate that I have always been a clean athlete," Munguia said in a statement posted on Instagram. The 28-year-old, who owns a record of 45-2 with 35 knockouts, said he has undergone numerous anti-doping tests in his career and never tested positive. "I was tested twice during this training camp, and both results came back negative, which is why receiving this notification of an adverse finding has been a complete surprise to me," said Munguia, who added he would not comment further until the "B" sample results are known. Munguia earned a unanimous decision victory over Surace on May 4 in Riyadh, on the undercard of Canelo Alvarez's super middleweight title unification triumph over William Scull. Munguia kept Surace on the ropes for much of the match as he avenged a knockout loss to the French fighter in December. Surace told The Ring that the result of the rematch should be "overturned immediately". "I went to Mexico and knocked out Mungiua fair and square in December and I was gracious enough to give him a rematch in May," he said. "He knew he could not beat me n a level playing field. I trust that this result will be overturned immediately".
