The OVO Wembley Arena in London will be lit up this Saturday night with two in-form heavyweights taking each other on for the British Heavyweight Title.
Fabio Wardley takes on Nathan Gorman in the co-main event of Whyte vs. Franklin, in what should be a competitive match-up. Wardley is unbeaten across his first 14 professional fights while Gorman only has one loss in 20 clashes and has won his past three. Both will be eager to claim the vacant British Heavyweight Title and preserve their excellent professional records to date.

Overall, Fabio Wardley is the moderate favourite in this fight with outright odds of 1.40 against Nathan Gorman’s 3.00.
Five years ago, Fabio Wardley made his professional boxing debut with a points victory over Jakub Wojcik. That was the last time that Wardley went the distance in a match. Since then, the Englishman has knocked out each of the 13 men that have stepped into the ring with him over the past five years. In fact, it’s been almost two years since the 27-year-old even went past the second round, knocking out his past three opponents in the first or second.
Nathan Gorman, on the other hand, has been slightly less dominant in the ring since his debut in 2015. The 26-year-old has a professional record of 19-1-0 with 13 knockouts and one loss by knockout. His past two fights have been quick finishes however, which will be a confidence booster to the Englishman after having been knocked out in the fifth against Daniel Dubois in 2019.
Given the hot form of Fabio Wardley, it’s hard to bet against the 27-year-old continuing his unbeaten run here. Take Wardley at 1.40 in the outright odds.

Looking at the method of victory odds for this fight, it’s no surprise that the leading option is a Wardley win by knockout.
Given that the man is on a 13-fight knockout streak, it’s a fairly safe bet to make that Wardley will knockout his opponent at 2.00. However, with Gorman on odds of 5.00 for a knockout, this may be worth an upset punt. While Gorman is not a knockout machine like Wardley, he does have 13 to his name as well and may well pull out a surprise on Saturday night.
