We are there.“It is a wild one to say, but one of the generational talents, one of the best to ever do it and the one with all the marbles. There is nothing more I could ask for, there is nothing more I could want in the sport. Just like everything else that has led me here, all I have ever asked for is the opportunity. And I have got that.“I am not planning on stopping here. I am not planning on getting in the ring with Usyk and rolling over. That is not what I am about. When that bell does go, me and Usyk finally get into the ring, he’s going to have to work for it. I am just riding the wave. Look, it has been a wild ride, a wild journey and it is nowhere near finished yet. I still have a lot more I want to do, a lot more to achieve in the sport and there is way more to come,” Wardley insisted.
