Wardley will fight Polite Coffie for the vacant WBA continental belt

British heavyweight Fabio Wardley will face American Michael Polite Coffie this Saturday for the vacant World Boxing Association (WBA) continental belt at the O2 Arena in London.

Wardley vs Polite will be on the undercard of an event that will feature the return of Anthony Joshua vs Jermaine Franklin in the main event.

Wardley is undefeated and has started to make a name for himself at heavyweight thanks to his punching power and his strength to define the fights. He comes into this fight with 14 straight knockouts and is looking to extend that streak.

Polite Coffie arrives with a lot of motivation to this fight because of the opportunity that is presented to him and although he is not a favorite in the papers, he has enough power to achieve the goal of defeating the local and give the surprise.

Wardley has 15 wins, 14 of them by way of the knockout. On the other hand, Polite Coffie has 13 wins, 3 losses and 10 wins by knockout.
