British heavyweights Fabio Wardley and David Adeleye are set to fight for top-contender status at “The Battle of The Baddest” on Saturday, Oct.
28, in Riyadh. The main event will see Tyson Fury taking on Francis Ngannou for the WBC Riyadh Champion Commemorative Belt. British Heavyweight Champion Wardley (16-0, 15 KOs) will defend his title against Adeleye (12-0, 11 KOs).
Also on the line are the WBO European, WBA Continental and vacant Commonwealth heavyweight championships. The rivalry between Wardley and Adeleye has been building for a while and escalated during the Fury-Ngannou press conference in London last month.
A brawl erupted on the red carpet involving the fighters and their respective camps, resulting in Wardley sustaining cuts above his left eye and under his chin.
